I have a diverse array of experiences and training; however, overall, I am trained as a generalist and as a Counseling Psychologist which emphasizes research, practice, and teaching that is both scientific and social justice principled. I use an integrative approach that is grounded in evidence-based practice (e.g., therapeutic relationship) and social justice frameworks such as feminist multicultural. Additional methods may depend on what works for you individually, culturally, and your presenting concern or distress, and unique factors such as trauma. Some methods that may be used include: Client-centered, motivational interviewing, feminist multicultural, interpersonal process, mindfulness.
