Education & Experience

I graduated from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania with my bachelor and master degree in Social Work. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups in various settings. My approach begins with creating a strong therapeutic relationship where the client feels empowered, supported, and truly heard. I began my career advocating for and counseling survivors of child sexual abuse, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence, which gave me a deep understanding of trauma and the importance of trauma-informed care. In addition to trauma work, I’ve worked with families using Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy, helping clients understand how their relationships, environments, and larger systems impact their lives. More recently, I’ve worked in school settings, offering counseling for students and support for caregivers. This work has given me broad experience working with individuals who have diagnoses like PTSD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, depression and anxiety disorders.
