I have a deep belief in an individual’s capacity to exercise agency and actively shape their own lives. I pride myself on providing culturally-sensitive care, and I take a psychodynamic approach to therapy, including person-centered, feminist, and existential frameworks. This allows me to create and form mutually respectful and empathetic relationships with her clients, focusing on their strengths and the positive aspects of their lives even as they grapple with the challenges they face. Clients should leave my sessions feeling empowered, more connected to the world, and with a better understanding of themselves. My past research and employment positions have involved a focus on alleviating stress among minority sexual and racial groups, as I am deeply passionate about this work. I have been involved in evidence-based research on the role of mindfulness interventions for individuals of sexual and racial minorities, and I have conducted systematic reviews on intimate partner violence, sexual health, and trauma disclosure. I also have experience as a peer mental health advocate, destigmatizing mental illness and providing support for college-aged students. I am a mental health counseling intern at Northeast Psychological Wellness while I complete the first year of my master’s degree program at New York University. I am pursuing a concurrent certificate in LGBTQ+ Health, Education, and Social Services at the same institution.
