I am a Master of Counseling student at Arizona State University, which occupies land that twenty-two native nations have inhabited.
Currently, I am seeing individual clients at my internship site and working on my master’s thesis. My thesis examines the effect of intersectional microaggressions and pride on the mental health of Black nonbinary individuals.
I will be attending Columbia University, Teachers College for my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology in Fall 2023 to continue my clinical work and research.
