Meet the Team

The power of TigerWell is in the collective efforts of the community, across Princeton working together to promote well-being.

TigerWell, in partnership with Health Promotion & Prevention Services (HPPS), provides infrastructure and support to foster and strengthen these collective efforts.

Meet the TigerWell Team below.

Director, HPPS

Acting Program Director, TigerWell

Anne C. Laurita, Ph.D.
(she/her/hers)

In my role, I provide strategic direction for TigerWell and help work toward our overarching program goals. I hold consultations with various campus partners on well-being promotion projects and coordinate processes for those partners to collaborate, including administering the TigerWell Partnership & Seed Grant program and convening the Campus Well-being Partnership. My background is in developmental psychology and social neuroscience, and my approach is grounded in public health and social justice, informed by the work of colleagues in HPPS. I am thrilled to be a part of the TigerWell team and am grateful for the opportunities we have to enact lasting changes that support student well-being at Princeton. Please reach out to me to talk more about partnering on these efforts.

Outreach Counselor

I strive to create a safe, supportive and collaborative space where students can engage in exploring difficult and challenging emotions and experiences and learn skills and knowledge to lead a more balanced and fulfilled life. As a TigerWell Outreach Counselor, I partner with the Graduate College and the School of Engineering and Applied Science to increase access and to provide needed services and support through individual drop-in sessions, support groups, wellness workshops and consultations. I’m always on the lookout for ways to partner in this work so, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Olivia McDonald-James, MSW, LSW
(she/her & they/them)

Outreach Counselor

In my role as a TigerWell Outreach Counselor, my goal is to provide students with the space to deeply explore the constellations of their lives. I seek to create a therapeutic relationship that is non-judgmental, anti-oppressive, and attuned to students’ unique needs. In addition to drop-in hours and one-to-one counseling, I collaborate with campus partners such as the Carl A Fields Center, the SHARE office and the GSRC to provide needed programming and workshops. I practice from a holistic perspective that is rooted in the concept of self-love as radical resistance. My values are informed by intersectionality and critical race theory and an appreciation of the ways that structural oppression affects mental health.

Kathryn Rowe, M.Ed., LPC, CMPC
(She, her, hers)

Outreach Counselor, Sport Psychology Program

As a provider, I use a strengths-based, mindfulness, CBT focused approach to help with progress and utilize evidenced-based skills to help each person improve their well-being. In my role as an outreach counselor, I will be providing services to the Princeton University Athletic Department. My services will include individual counseling, educational workshops, consultations with athletic staff/teams, and developing programs for athletes. I also will be providing outreach counseling at one of the residential colleges on campus. Through my experience working with athletes, and being a former collegiate athlete myself, I understand not only the rewards, but the difficulties and stressors that arise. My goal for working with our students is to help make the difficult times more manageable and enjoyable.
