I provide counseling to college students at WSU, individualized to the student's unique needs. I am also the Practicum Coordinator, meaning I manage/oversee the CAPS doctoral practicum training program.

In counseling, I work from a relational psychodynamic perspective, but I am also highly integrative and utilize many different therapeutic approaches. My core philosophy is to ensure that students get uniquely individualized care for their specific needs and goals. I work collaboratively with individual students to make sure that the treatment plan we create together is working to meet those goals. I value people's life experiences, recognizing that our pasts often influence who we are today, how we see ourselves, how we interact with others, and how we operate in the world around us. In providing supervision, I operate from both a developmental and collaborative framework.

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 2014 from Barton College (Wilson, NC), my Master's Degree in Psychology in 2018 from Old Dominion University (Norfolk, VA), and my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2022 from the Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology (Norfolk, VA). I completed my doctoral internship here at WSU's Counseling & Psychological Services in 2022 and am happy to have been able to stay in the Pullman/Palouse area. Throughout my training and experiences, I've had the opportunity to work with various diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ communities and individuals, military veterans, BIPOC communities, non-traditional college students, first-generation and international students, religious/spiritual minority groups, people with disabilities, and more. While a variety of training opportunities have prepared me to work with most presenting concerns, I specialize in treating experiences of trauma, abuse/neglect, childhood trauma, relationship trauma, and assault, as well as interpersonal concerns and feelings of shame/self-doubt.

I'm originally from the west coast but spent most of my life growing up on the east coast. I'm happy to be back in a west coast state where I plan to stay. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, heavy metal music lover, videogame player, and a proud cat-dad.
