Counseling Center Staff

The Counseling Center is here to meet the needs of all students who are experiencing mental health distress. Our staff make practicing with multicultural competence and humility a priority and therefore engage in regular education, discussion and training on working with people from a variety of backgrounds. We appreciate the impact of the intersection of identity and mental health and, as such, students can feel comfortable knowing that regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexuality or gender, that they will be treated with respect and dignity.
