About Me…

Clinical Experience

For over six years, I have worked in outpatient settings with individuals struggling with mental health issues, and substance abuse disorders. Many of my clients have sought treatment to help them make an important transition in life, such as leaving home to go to college, feeling supported as a new parent, coping with grief, or learning to be a better partner in a relationship. Some of my clients are working towards exiting the legal system and building a more stable future. Therapy cannot be productive without a healthy therapeutic relationship. This relationship is integral to the work we will do together, and finding a good match is necessary for BOTH of us to do our best. I believe many of my former and current clients would describe me as humorous, kind, direct, and “real” - I won’t treat you like you’re a textbook, because you’re not!

My ideal client is motivated - seeking better understanding and improvement of THEMSELVES. The focus of therapy will be examining behavior, questioning cognitive distortions, and exploring options for change.

I attended graduate school at Monmouth University and obtained a Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2018, and currently hold licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of New Jersey (License number 37PC00824200 ), Oregon (License number C7769) and as a telehealth provider in the state of Florida (provider registration number is TPMC2886). My education focused on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with person-centered techniques and solution-focused treatment. In 2021, I completed the Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 1.
