Professional Life

I am a graduate student earning my Master of Arts in Counseling with Northwestern University. In 2022, I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a Major in Sociology, and a Minor in Applied Psychology. My background in sociology has helped me better understand the complexities surrounding intersectionality and how it affects our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. I hope to help clients:

• Build a strong therapeutic alliance to foster growth in relationships

• Work through past traumas to heal the mind-body connection

• Use mindfulness and grounding techniques to connect with the body

• Identify inner strengths to empower and improve one’s self-esteem 

I believe that human beings drive connection, and connection drives us to better understand ourselves. I love how counseling offers everyone a safe space to explore themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. I want to help my clients develop, grow, and become the best version of themselves possible. 

I believe each individual is unique, and should be treated as such. I work to value the client’s strengths and weaknesses, while acknowledging the importance of each individual’s identity throughout the therapy process. As part of my supervision, I am receiving training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also utilize a psychodynamic lens which I have learned through my university training. 

I treat the following:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Grief and Loss

• Women’s Issues

• Traumatic Recovery
