She has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults across university counseling centers, private practice, and community agencies, specializing in supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, grief, crisis intervention, intimate relationship concerns, family conflict, substance use concerns, and complex family dynamics with a whole-person and systems-informed lens.
