Professional Statement

My professional work focuses on integrating psychological science with socially responsive mental health practice. I am particularly committed to trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches that support individuals and communities facing adversity, crisis, and displacement.

Through teaching, research, and clinical practice, I aim to contribute to ethical, evidence-based psychological care while preparing future practitioners to address mental health needs within diverse cultural and humanitarian contexts.
