How I Work with Staff and Faculty
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to empowering individuals and groups to overcome diverse challenges using a strengths-based, culturally responsive, and psychodynamic approach. My collaborative style is informed by a Person-in-Environment framework that considers the intersecting personal, relational, and systemic factors that shape one’s perspectives and needs. I integrate evidence-based practices that include CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed modalities, while aiming to identify resources you can utilize to nurture wellbeing and strengthen resilience.
I have experience serving individuals and groups in academic, healthcare, and community settings addressing issues that include workplace stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, complex health issues/brain injury, and significant life transitions.
