I am a licensed clinical social worker who believes strongly in the power of therapy and ability to change. I enjoy working with college students as it is such an essential time in our lives where we decide who we are in the world. I received my BA in Psychology and Women and Gender Studies from Gettysburg College and my MSW from the University of Southern California. I have a strong passion for Social Justice and value the opportunity to provide a safe and validating experience for everyone.
I take a client-centered and solution-focused approach to therapy to help all my students feel heard and active on their treatment. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, self-compassion, trauma, substance use, and identity development.
