I earned my B.S in Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2017 and immediately transitioned into a clinical research assistant position at McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. Currently, I am interested in process and outcome research in psychotherapy with a specific focus on common factors such as therapeutic alliance across populations. My master’s thesis examined how suicidality impacts the therapeutic relationship for college students of minority status. I’m also currently investigating mechanisms of change in university and college counseling as well as community care. My research perspective is transtheoretical and therapeutically egalitarian! When I’m not conducting research, you can find me bicycling, burying myself in podcasts, or achieving a fragile combination of the two.
