Theoretical Orientation:

My approach to therapy involves collaborating with clients to understand how their life experiences and cultural context shape who they are. As we understand ourselves, we develop the capacity to decide if and how we would like things to be different. By cultivating relationships and developing skills and habits we bring that change to fruition. I strive for clients to feel safe, supported, and empowered to embrace their authentic selves and recognize their strengths.

Professional Interests:

I enjoy meeting with a variety of students, with special interests in family and relationship issues, trauma, resiliency, identity development, immigration and acculturation issues, and first-generation student concerns.
