I am a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and I hold a master’s degree in Psychological Science from Texas Woman’s University. Before pursuing graduate training, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Applied Learning and Development from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a classroom teacher for several years.

For the past two years I have provided individual and group therapy at UT’s Counseling and Mental Health Center where I have treated individuals navigating a range of mental health concerns including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, perfectionism, depression, grief and loss, interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. In addition to clinical work, I am actively engaged in research examining stress and coping and mental health and well-being in emerging adulthood. I have co-authored peer-reviewed articles in these areas and am committed to integrating research and practice to support individuals using evidence-based theories and treatments.
