Mental Health Therapist

Who I Work With: All Students
How I work with students: At the core of my practice is a fundamental belief that healing, growth, and change are possible even under the most challenging circumstances. My aim as a therapist is to help you recognize your strength and feel empowered to make the changes necessary to achieve your goals. I will support you by listening to your stories with curiosity and making a space for you that is safe, accepting, and comfortable. I also think that therapy can be fun and that, sometimes, laughter is the best medicine.

Approach to Wellness: I often stumble upon a sense of wellness in its pursuit which, for me, involves paying close attention to what my wants and needs are. Some days I may want to hike up a mountain and other days I might need to shapeshift into a potato and play Animal Crossing. I love my job but when I’m not at the Counseling Center I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, traveling, Nintendo games, karaoke, analyzing every episode of Rupaul’s Drag Race, and spending time with my partner and our cat Papi.
