Joined the University Counseling Center: February 2025

My passion lies in helping students recover from substance use and heal from trauma, focusing on addiction recovery, relapse prevention, and recovery maintenance. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care with a focus on empowering students to develop healthier coping strategies and regain control over their lives. I am committed to guiding students to build the skills needed on their recovery journeys. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where students feel understood and supported as they work toward lasting change.
