I am currently a doctoral student in School Psychology at North Carolina State University. A North Carolina native, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Interpersonal Communication with a minor in Business Administration in 2021 at North Carolina State University. As a queer, transracial adoptee, my lived experience informs my clinical lens and fuels my commitment to health equity, affirmative care, and expanding access to mental health services for historically marginalized populations. My passion for psychology is grounded in a deep curiosity about human behavior and a belief in the power of inclusive healing practices.
With experience supporting children, adolescents, and their families in K–12 settings, I work with a wide range of clinical presentations, including anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, identity exploration, body image and eating concerns, ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in a social justice framework, with a strong foundation in Queer Theory and Feminist Theory. Through relational and multicultural counseling approaches, I aim to support clients in exploring, examining, and unlearning internalized systems that impact mental health and identity development. I strive to co-create affirming, liberating spaces where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered to start their growth journey.
