Hello! I'm a counseling intern and first-year graduate student at the Four Corners Social Work program at the University of Denver. My interests are in mindfulness, somatics, and metacognition. In counseling, I stive for individuals to develop targeted tools that sharpen awareness of their experience in the world. My goal is to discover the path forward based on deeply knowing who we are and what we need.
I also hold a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering, and have worked as an engineer in a variety of industries. I bring my engineering background to my work with at the counseling center in two ways: in helping students navigate stressors specific to STEM environments, and in working with all students work to build practical frameworks and models to better understand themselves.
In my free time I enjoy traveling to unique places and adventuring in the beautiful natural space we have here in Durango. I also love working with my hands to bring ideas to life - sewing, welding, woodworking, and prototyping.
