My path to clinical work as a psychotherapist has been shaped by more than a decade of experience in clinical psychology and interventional psychiatry research. Before entering clinical practice, I worked in clinical research coordination and management, including conducting diagnostic clinical interviews and psychological assessments with research participants. Through that work, I found myself especially drawn to the human moments within research: listening carefully, approaching people with care and respect, offering resources when appropriate, and recognizing how meaningful it can be to feel understood in the midst of complex emotional and clinical concerns.

Those formative experiences led me toward clinical training and psychotherapy practice, where careful understanding and meaningful change can happen together. My background includes graduate study in clinical psychology and clinical training in social work, which together shape my research-informed, relational, and integrative approach to therapy.

I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, with a specialization in Personality and Psychopathology, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan, with a focus on Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health and Mental Health. In September 2026, I will begin doctoral study in Clinical Psychology toward a PsyD at the Michigan School of Psychology.

During my clinical training, I completed practicum placements in private practice and university counseling settings. I have provided individual and group therapy and worked with adults, young adults, and older adolescents navigating concerns related to anxiety, depression, grief, identity, neurodivergence, relationships, life transitions, trauma-related concerns, and emotion regulation. My training includes a strong psychodynamic foundation, along with integrative, evidence-informed approaches that can support both practical coping and deeper self-understanding.
