About
Education: (In Progress, May 2025) PsyD (Doctorate in Psychology) in Clinical Psychology, Antioch University New England, Keene, NH; 2022 MS in Clinical Psychology, Antioch University New England, Keene, NH; 2016 Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Women and Gender Studies
Clinical Interests/Experience: I have spent most of my training as a therapist in university counseling centers; I love working with this population! I am particularly passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ students and helping to navigate challenges that can arise while living in a heteronormative, cisgender society. I have focused my research and clinical work on therapy that aims to increase sense of self, self-worth, and identity(s) through a relational-cultural lens that values the client’s unique experiences within their unique world. I integrate mindfulness, relaxation, and cognitive strategies when needed. I also enjoy assisting clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their past experiences to help decrease current distress.
Areas of Expertise: LGBTQIA+ identities, sexual health & sex-positivity, intimacy concerns, relationship challenges, influences of self-worth, and body image.
More about me: I am constantly working towards educating myself on issues of racial inequality and systemic forms of racism through listening to (and reading) BIPOC voices and engaging in conversations with BIPOC and white individuals regarding topics of race, ethnicity, implicit bias, microaggressions, and discrimination.
