About Me
I create an environment of openness, warmth and authenticity for my clients that nurtures self-reflection and growth. My roles as a partner, parent, friend, family member, and part of society help to inform my empathy. I connect with clients through my humor, love of pop-culture, and deep well of compassion.
My Training and Experience
I completed a Master's of Science in Counseling Psychology from Mount Saint Mary's University. During my graduate program, I participated in a traineeship at the Maple Counseling Center, where I was trained in psychodynamic therapy. After graduating, I honed my therapeutic skillset through my work with adults in private practice and intensive outpatient programs. I was also honored to spend time working with teens and their families as they navigated their way out of crisis and into healing.
​
In the fall of 2022 I took the Externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and have fallen head over heals for the model. I have since participated in Core Skills training, and ongoing EFT supervision to sharpen my skills and ensure that couples are receiving the best possible care. ​

All of my training and experience has helped me to cultivate a culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, and non-judgmental stance.
