Health Service Provider in Psychology (North Carolina)

Hey there! My name is Terrence, and I am the acting director of the Center for Integrated Care.  Much of my career has been spent assessing and addressing the mental health needs of underserved students.  Though my role at CIC is not clinical, my work remains guided by the aspirational principles of social work and community psychology. I’m an ardent believer that true, radical healing goes beyond just coping with life circumstances and entails empowerment and thriving that are enhanced by living life in community with others.  My colleagues and I have a passion for creating spaces of belonging and thriving for students who have been historically overlooked or marginalized.  At CIC, I provide organizational leadership and strategic vision for this department during our search for new leadership.  I also work with campus and community partners to ensure that feedback from Charlotte students about their holistic experiences on campus is implemented into the programs and services offered by the Office of Health and Wellbeing. 

Outside of work, I am active in my faith community and I am an avid fan of science fiction movies and tv!
