Therapeutic Style: I take a collaborative, relational approach grounded in narrative therapy and shaped by postmodern and feminist perspectives. I often draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help students explore the different “parts” of themselves as voices in their story, integrating these perspectives into a fuller sense of self. I also incorporate elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which offer language and structure for connecting meaning-making to intentional action. My aim is to create a space where clients can explore their stories, values and relationships while building tools for navigating challenges.
Professional Interests: I am interested in exploring how culture shapes the way people understand and express their identities and how identity, in turn, shapes how they experience and navigate different cultural contexts. I often work with students experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impacts of marginalization and discrimination. My experience also includes facilitating stress management workshops and leading a short-term process group for autistic BIPOC students. I value decolonizing approaches to therapy, which for me means questioning whose perspectives and values are centered, inviting multiple ways of knowing and making space for clients to define their own stories on their own terms.
Educational Background: I am a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at Antioch University New England and hold a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience. My clinical training has included work in college counseling, community mental health and psychological assessment with adolescents and college students.
