Clinical/counseling interests:
I approach therapy as a collaborative process in which clients can feel safe and secure to explore and express themselves. I believe every person possesses unique traits and strengths, and sometimes we need assistance to identify and utilize these. My mission as a therapist at UCS is to create a nonjudgmental and nurturing environment in which students can grow and recognize their worth and potential as individuals. I utilize a trauma-informed framework, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Multicultural interests
Social justice and equality are important to me personally and professionally. I am passionate about assisting clients in advocating for their needs and overcoming barriers on and off campus, as well as making therapy a safe place for individuals to process through ways they may be impacted by oppression. I have experience working with individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community and people with racial and ethnic identities different from my own. I am committed to continuously engaging in self-reflection and learning to better serve students from all backgrounds.
Outreach interests
I enjoy working with others to spread information about topics in mental health and overall wellness. Specifically, I have experience providing education and outreach related to anxiety and stress management, mindfulness, academic success, and healthy coping.
