"Teaching, and talking 1:1 with students are two of my favorite activities! Feel free to stop by and chat any time! In addition to my work at UST, I maintain a small private clinical practice, working primarily with women with significant trauma in their history. Much of the work I do is pro bono, for women who could not otherwise afford mental health care.
"Because of my experience adopting three older children from India (ages 7, 10 & 12 when they arrived in the US), I naturally have become interested in the issues faced by older, international adoptees and their families. This experience has also increased my awareness of the difficulties immigrant/refugee families face in navigating our educational system. I am passionate about pursuing ways to improve educational services for ESL students."
