My name is Jade. I’m a Qualified Mental Health Professional with six years of experience providing mental health counseling to adults. My specialty areas include relationship concerns, identity exploration, depression, anxiety, and stress management. I believe that each person holds infinite complexity in their identities and lived experiences. As a therapist, my goal is to join you in uncovering that complexity and utilizing your self-knowledge to experience greater empowerment, fulfillment, and joy in your life.

My approach to therapy draws on relational-psychodynamic and culturally inclusive principles. As a therapist, I see interpersonal functioning as crucial to our overall well- being, and I view the therapeutic relationship as a powerful vehicle for change. My focus will be to listen and understand, build trust, and provide an open and nonjudgmental space where you can discuss anything that is important to you. We may explore your feelings, desires, motivations, and ways of relating with others. Ultimately, I believe there is no “right way” to do therapy and strive to maintain flexibility and playfulness in my approach.

I hold a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from Auburn University. My professional experience as a generalist therapist includes six years of work in university counseling centers, community mental health agencies, and private outpatient therapy practices.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, biking, hiking, listening to music, watching Love on the Spectrum, and making matcha lattes. My favorite music to listen to includes punk, new wave, corridos, and reggaeton.
