Therapeutic Orientation

I utilize a psychodynamic/relational approach and work within a multicultural, client-centered framework. I use a variety of CBT, DBT, ACT, and emotion-focused techniques to help students manage a variety of issues. I do my best to provide a safe, validating space where students can talk about a variety of issues.

Areas of Clinical Interest

I am interested in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, as well as members of the LGBTQIA community. Other areas of interest include relationship difficulties, self-care and self-compassion, self-esteem, women's issues, and identity exploration. I am also passionate about social justice 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 earning my master’s degree in Professional Counseling. I loved Carlow University so much, that 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. I am passionate about working with college students and I am excited to start my career as a psychologist at WVU!

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 outside and spend time with family and friends.
