How I Work With Students
My primary approach to working with students combines elements of Feminist psychotherapy and Brief Dynamic psychotherapy. In short, this means that I look at interpersonal patterns and the larger sociopolitical context to uncover the root of many mental health related issues.
I work with all students and have specialty interest that include Adjustment and Identity concerns, Gender affirming care, LGBTQIA exploratory and affirmative therapy, Mood disorders, Neurodiversity/Neurodivergent experiences, Eating concerns, Trauma, Clinical supervision and training, and Relationships (including non-monogamy).
About Me
I am originally from Northern Virginia. I was the first in my family to attend college and received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Palo Alto University (PAU) in 2017 with an emphasis in LGBTQIA psychology. Prior to joining UC Davis, I served as Interim Director of the Sexual and Gender Identities Clinic (SGIC), a specialty training clinic affiliated with Palo Alto University. In this role, I provided clinical supervision to second-year doctoral trainees who treated LGBTQ+ folks in the Bay Area.
