UCS Practicum Trainee
Biography

I practice primarily from an Emotionally-Focused and Psychodynamic perspective, which means I take great care to attend to the ways that relationships with family, friends, and partners may impact mental health in other unexpected ways. My goal as a therapist is to support students as they process difficult experiences and empower them to live their lives with authenticity and in alignment with their goals and values. I am committed to addressing the ways that underrepresented culture and experiences can impact mental health and strive to help students feel comfortable expressing their identities in therapy.
