Therapeutic Orientation

I utilize a psychodynamic/relational approach and work within a humanistic, client-centered, and strengths-based framework. I use evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, ACT, and emotion-focused therapy to help students manage a variety of issues and concerns. I do my best to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and validating space for students to identify goals and gain new insights and perspectives. 

Areas of Clinical Interest

As the Interpersonal Violence Specialist, I am particularly interested in working with individuals who have experienced physical and sexual violence, as well as unhealthy or abusive relationships. I have been working with survivors of trauma for over 10 years, and am interested in working with relationship concerns, improving self-care and self-compassion, exploring identity and self-esteem, and discussing women's physical and mental health issues.

Bio

I spent most of my life living in and around Pittsburgh, PA. I attended Duquesne University, where I studied psychology and philosophy before attending Carlow University to earn my master’s degree in professional counseling. I loved Carlow so much, I decided to stay and pursue a doctorate in counseling psychology. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the University of Akron in Akron, OH, where I provided a variety of services, like group and individual counseling, outreach, and assessments. Over the years, I have worked in residential, community, and inpatient settings, as well as college counseling centers.

Some of my hobbies include playing animal crossing, trying Tik Tok recipes, having a coffee while reading a good book, and listening to true crime podcasts. To decompress, I like to take walks with my dogs and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
