Clinical Interests
My wide range of clinical interests include the common problem areas of mood disorders, relationship issues, life stressors, and life transitions. As an immigrant and psychologist of color, I also have personal and professional interest in matters that involve race, ethnicity, culture, identity statuses, and diversity.

Care Philosophy
I apply my many years of experience as a clinician, a faculty member, and an administrator in higher education to provide empathic, efficient, and effective counsel to my patients in the Faculty & Staff Mental Health Clinic. I also draw on my entire professional career in my role as Wellness Coach and Consultant for the Department of Orthopedics.
