Wellness Workshops for Academics
I'm currently developing a series of workshops and webinars on mental health topics that affect academics. Subscribe below for updates on release dates and invites to test new material!
From studying academics to helping them
Prior to becoming a therapist I was an academic who studied academia! As a socio-cultural anthropologist, I studied scientific communities and the structure of higher education institutions in the US and in Latin America.
I got my PhD in Anthropology from the University of Chicago and then worked as an adjunct, a post-doc, in university administration, and as a lecturer at various midwestern colleges and universities.
In 2019 I decided to change career and retrain as a therapist. I now have an MEd in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University, and am licensed (LPC) in the State of Illinois.
