Counseling & Psychological Services

My theoretical orientation is an integrated approach, with a strong foundation in Object Relations as well as employing various EST (evidence supported treatment) practice interventions such as CBT, DBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing. In addition to working from a social justice lens, I also enjoy Mindfulness practices and as a bilingual therapist, working with international students. More specific areas of expertise include: working with students with disabilities, specifically LD and ADHD, veteran students, suicide prevention and substance abuse treatment. I believe it is important to provide students with a safe, secure environment to explore things they would like to change. My role as a therapist is to empower students to use their unique strengths in addition to learning new skills in order to achieve the goals they define and prioritize within that change process.
