University Counseling Center

I am excited to join you on your journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Every experience, circumstance, and perspective shapes who we are, and I hold immense respect for the diversity that each of you brings to our space. My goal is to help you explore and define what true wellness means for you, and to provide support and guidance as you work towards actualizing that vision. Together, we will create a safe and inclusive space where every aspect of your individuality is honored and celebrated.
