A Unique Blend of Person-Centered, Trauma-informed, Multi-Culturally Aware Therapy that Specializes in the Treatment of Gifted Individuals - Including Graduate Students and Those in Academia
At Integrative Psychotherapy, I specialize in intellectually, creatively, and athletically gifted clients. Whether you consider yourself high-achieving, underachieving, or simply searching for greater balance, I meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.
We're all Gifted in Some Way!
Why Specialize in Giftedness?
Individuals identifying or identified as "gifted" often face a unique set of challenges. They may have learned to associate grades or accomplishments with identity and validation, leading to perfectionism, avoidance, or a skewed sense of self. They may have experienced bullying or been socially ostracized, feeling othered or different in ways that make it hard to connect. My whole-person approach is effective in helping both "over-achievers" and "under-achievers" find balance and growth in achieving both their internal and external goals.
My
Story
Why I Do It
​My path to becoming a psychologist began with a simple but persistent question: why do people suffer and what helps them heal? I've always been drawn to understanding what lies beneath the surface - the stories, emotions, and experiences that shape how we see ourselves and relate to the world.
Like many of the people I work with I faced my own challenges, moments of uncertainty, loss, and self-doubt that forced me to slow down and look inward. Those experiences taught me that healing is rarely linear, and that growth often begins in the most uncomfortable places.
In my work now, I am continually reminded that change begins with safety, honesty, and genuine connection. I see therapy as a place where all parts of you are welcome: the strong and the struggling, the confident and the uncertain, the hopeful and the hurting. Together, we can explore the patterns and emotions that keep you stuck and help you move towards a more authentic balanced life.
​
What keeps me passionate about this work is witnessing those moments when clients discover or rediscover their strength, shift old patterns and feel like themselves, again or for the first time ever. Being part of that process is both humbling and profoundly rewarding - and it's why I continue to do this work every day.
Services
Individual Therapy
I help clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, as well as issues related to identity, purpose, and self-confidence. I often help those who want to understand their emotions, relationships and performance - whether in their careers, athletics or personal lives.
Couples Therapy
​I help couples in all forms - from monogamous, to open, to polyamorous - strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. We'll focus on improving emotional attunement, navigating conflict with compassion, and understanding and shifting the patterns that leave couples feeling distant and misunderstood.
Adolescent Therapy
​ Adolescence can be a time of growth, discovery and challenge. Therapy offers teens, a safe supportive space to make sense of their emotions, relationships and identity while developing tools to navigate life's struggles. Adolescent therapy can help teens, build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self as they move towards adulthood.
