I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 2 years of experience in the mental health field. I find meaning in helping adolescents and adults discover their truest potential. I specialize in treating clients who are struggling with anxiety, addiction, life transitions, gender identity, and sexual violence.
I completed my Master's degree in Art Therapy and Counseling (MAATC) at Albertus Magnus College. I have worked with college students, military veterans, sexual violence victims/survivors, adults with substance use disorders, as well as clients with autism spectrum disorder.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe and that they belong in this world. I strongly empathize with my clients' experiences and choose to support them with patience, kindness, and honesty. If you're looking to develop a better understanding of yourself and your capacity to grow through life's challenges, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.
