I strive to ensure marginalized Latinx and immigrant communities receive accessible and comprehensive mental health support.

Hello, my name is Andria and I am a Psychology major at SFSU with a research interest in the impact of mind-body healing practices and accessibility of mental health services for underserved communities. My career focus is to bring a culturally competent, integrative, holistic approach to the clinical setting. In the future, I aim to collaborate with other practitioners in opening a non-profit community-based wellness center.  

I am a transfer student at SFSU pursuing a bachelor's degree in psychology. Psychology for the People's mission to make psychology better and more accessible for a wide range of communities align with my goal to understand, advocate, and teach others about underrepresented groups. I want to gain research experience to eventually conduct my own studies on neurodivergent populations with their intersectional ties.
