Hi, I'm Yvonne, your African American Student Affairs (AASA) embedded counselor.

Here's how I can help:

I'm currently the Site-Based Behavioral Health Clinician at African American Student Affairs (AASA). My office is located on the third floor of the Martin Luther King Building (MLK). I offer therapy appointments or consultations in-person and on Zoom.

The role of the site-based counselor at AASA is to serve Black or African-American identified, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ students with a variety of intersections. As a counselor I will work beside you on:

  • coping skills
  • mindfulness skills
  • stress management techniques
  • interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships
  • identifying strengths, resilience, and abilities 
  • conflict resolution

Here's how you can reach me:

  • AASA Phone: 520-621-8570
  • CAPS Phone: 520-621-3334
  • or complete my online contact form below.

*This form is not monitored 24-7 and should not be used for mental health crises. If this is a mental health emergency, please contact the Pima County Crisis line at 520-622-6000, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department. If you are a student or are concerned about a student, you can also call CAPS 24/7 at 520-621-3334. After-hours crisis callers may speak with a Crisis and Access Specialist by pressing 1 when prompted by the automated message.
