Hello
I am a passionate college counseling clinician, private practitioner, researcher, administrator, and leader. From providing developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive individual and group therapy to designing and implementing treatment programs for emerging adults experiencing mental health struggles, my work centers around improving the landscape and outcomes of college mental health.
I currently serve as the Director of Counseling and Prevention Services at The College of New Jersey where I work to improve access to and outcomes of mental health services.

Exploring innovations in college counseling service delivery to meet the overwhelming demands for treatment.
