Bio

As a psychologist, I aim to help students heal from multiple forms of harm that are structural, social, and/or interpersonal in origin. I believe that most psychological “symptoms” begin as means of survival, and my nonjudgmental approach helps students let go of unhelpful patterns and find new ways of coping and thriving.
