Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I think a lot of us who are therapists today found our way here because we’ve been through our own stuff, whether it be uncertain times, challenging experiences, or rough patches and somewhere along the way, many of us ended up sitting across from a therapist ourselves. I can only speak for me, but that first experience working one-on-one with a therapist really shaped the path I’m on now. What’s wild and wonderful to me is how many different ways we can show up and be of help or service to others. For me, it’s about the privilege and opportunity to give back in the same way I was once supported.
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Success in therapy usually means you don’t need to come in as often anymore—and eventually, maybe not at all. That’s often the goal: to get to a place where you feel solid enough to move forward on your own. But if you find that you still need support from time to time, that’s totally okay too. One way I can tell a client is making progress is when we look back at the treatment plan together and see how far they've come. Whether it's hitting a big goal or just noticing those small wins, what matters at the end of each day is being able to take a step back and feel proud of all the work you’ve done and the things you have accomplished along the way.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I like to make space to check in on more than just your mental health. I care about how life is going for you overall. I want to hear about the funny thing your pet did, your weekend plans, that new hobby you're trying (or the one you’ve decided isn’t for you), the song stuck in your head, what the weather’s like where you are, a show you're into, how school or work is actually going, whatever’s on your mind and what you feel comfortable sharing. Therapy can be a time to get serious and put in the work, but I also think there’s a place for some humor and light-heartedness. It helps to build rapport and makes space for clients to feel comfortable and real.

Education
University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Master of Social Work, 2021 — I graduated from the University at Buffalo School of Social Work in May, 2021 with Cum Laude. During my time in the social work program, I was accepted into a fellowship titled "Serious Illness Care" where we focused on supporting those living with chronic illness, chronic pain, and end-stage diseases.
Niagara University, Bachelor of Science, Criminal Justice, 2019 — During my time as an undergraduate student at Niagara University, I had the privilege of studying abroad to learn more about the United States Criminal Justice system compared to European counties such as Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland (Belfast). I had the opportunity to study World War 2 in-depth and was able to visit Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic to learn more about the history of this time period and how to help prevent history from repeating itself in modern day.
