Counseling & Psychological Services

Theoretically, I am influenced by dynamic thought, believing that patterns of early relationships and our adaptations to them continue to be enacted throughout life. I also enjoy interpersonal process and believe some of the best work happens when we can locate habitual patterns of interaction in the here and now. I have also been influenced by Gestalt ideas in terms of creating experiential opportunities in session through experiments and other creative processes. Increasingly, I have been interested in how we co-create the frame of therapy and how some of the tenets of mindfulness practice may inform this process. As a person who possesses many privileges in this society, I also work to be mindful of how this structures the roles that I occupy.
