Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
In my early 20's, I went through some really difficult times and went to therapy. I wanted to find a way to help others not have to struggle the way I did, so I wanted to become a Therapist!
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
I'm neurodivergent myself, so I deeply understand and empathize with the unique struggles we experience.

Professional Background
LicensurePennsylvania, Licensed Professional Counselor, PC017133
Education
Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2020
Work HistoryFrom 2016-2018, I helped a Therapist in building their own private practice. During that time, I also wrote articles for various mental health websites and magazines.
In 2018, I began seeing clients clinically as an inpatient counselor, and later that year I became an outpatient Therapist. I have also spent time seeing clients as a Therapist within a group practice.
I volunteer speaking at various universities, where I teach undergraduate students how to become a Therapist. I’ve also volunteered at clinics running group therapy and psychoeducation sessions using my own curriculum topics I created.
Throughout the entirety of my career, I’ve helped clients struggling with drug and alcohol addictions, ADHD, autism, anxiety, disordered eating, pregnancy/postpartum, adjustments, along with general stress and overwhelm.
