EDUCATION & TRAINING:
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and School Counselor. I have a
Master of Education in School Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Prior to transitioning into counseling, I spent five years in the business world and earned my
Bachelor of Business Administration from Villanova University. I take pride in having changed
professions after working hard to determine my career values.
​
COUNSELING APPROACH:
I gravitate toward a strengths-based approach to counseling, which means that I help
individuals to identify and celebrate their abilities rather than focusing on their deficits. I use
various counseling approaches such as Solutions-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy. I also like to incorporate mindfulness and psychoeducation, helping clients to
understand the “why” behind their feelings. At the core of my helping relationships lies a focus
on empathy, unconditional acceptance, and a genuine sense of positive regard.
​
AREAS OF EXPERIENCE:
I offer services to individuals, including children, adolescents, and adults.
The following are some of the areas my services include:
-
Anxiety
-
Perfectionism
-
Self-esteem
-
Life transitions
-
Identity formation
-
ADHD
-
Relationships (couples, poly, and ENM)
