About Us

I use a collaborative, relational approach in my work and incorporate trauma-informed cognitive, emotion-focused, behavioral, and mindfulness techniques, as clinically appropriate, to address a variety of mental health concerns. I am committed to understanding and improving mental health for all people, particularly those from marginalized and disenfranchised communities, including racially and ethnically minoritized groups, first-generation college students, immigrants, and people who have experienced serious mental illness. I am also engaged in postgraduate training at the Psychodynamic Couple and Family Institute of New England. , I offer individual and couples therapy to adults and specialize in working with college students to address depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, identity, and life transitions. I work to understand how a person’s culture, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and class influence development, identity, and relationships. , My work as a health communication scholar and university professor during the past two decades has focused on strategies for communicating mental health information to ameliorate stigma. One of my areas of interest is exploring how to help people develop psychological and behavioral resistance to the negative effects of media use on wellbeing.
