University Counseling Center

As a therapist, I strive to create an open, affirming, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic space. I do my best to understand each client, their presenting concerns, and provide support that addresses their unique needs. In addition, I believe it is important to honor identity/difference and acknowledge the oppressive social forces that impact mental health.
