About

Ruth is a Clinical Psychology master’s student on the MFT and LPCC licensure track at Vanguard University. Her clinical approach is creative, collaborative, relational, and emotionally attuned, drawing from research-supported modalities such as Drama Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. She values experiential and mindfulness-informed work that helps clients connect more deeply with their emotions, bodies, and relational patterns—often moving beyond words alone.

Ruth works with individuals, couples, and other relational groups, including families and friends. She is passionate about helping clients from diverse backgrounds navigate personal identity, spirituality, relationship challenges, and trauma-related concerns. She strives to create a therapeutic space rooted in unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and thoughtful exploration, meeting clients where they are while gently supporting growth, inner clarity, and meaningful change.
