Research Discipline/Bio
I am a second-year PhD Counseling Psychology student at Teachers College, Columbia University. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Graduate Certificate in College Teaching and Career Preparation from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2023, and a Bachelor of Arts in Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies from Webster University in 2019. My research interests include transgender and gender expansive older adults’ experiences of minority stress and resilience in the contexts of work, retirement, intimacy, and community. I am currently seeing clients with a variety of presenting concerns at Baruch College Counseling Center, and have prior clinical experience in college counseling, community mental health, and crisis settings. In addition to research and clinical work, I love teaching undergraduate and master’s students in psychology, mental health counseling, and gender studies courses.
