What do I do at the Counseling Center?

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I work with students on a one-on-one or group basis. I am also the Counseling Center's Animal Assisted Interventions Coordinator and LGBTQ+ Liaison.

What's it like to work with me?

As a therapist, I would describe myself as integrative or eclectic meaning that I incorporate different interventions from different theoretical perspectives (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, ACT, interpersonal) in order to meet you where you are and provide what you need in order to create positive changes as a team. I have several areas of clinical interest including: multicultural issues, LGBTQ+, intimate partner violence, suicide prevention, survivors of suicide loss, and grief and loss among many others.

What do I do at JMU outside of the Counseling Center?

I provide outreach as well as organize/schedule animal assisted activities offered on campus, such as Paws and Connect, Paws and Relax, and Barks of Valor.
