What was your path to becoming a therapist? 

 I was drawn to therapy because I’ve always valued deep, meaningful connections and wanted to build a career centered around helping others through life’s challenges. That passion led me to earn my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Merrimack College, where I grew both personally and professionally and developed the tools to support others in their healing and growth. 

  How do your own core values shape your approach to care? 

My core values of compassion, honesty, and trust are the foundation of how I approach care. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. I believe honesty helps foster authenticity and growth, while trust is essential in building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable being vulnerable and working through challenges.

What was your path to becoming a therapist? 

I started college wanting to be an architect. However, in my freshman year of college, I took my first psychology class and fell in love with learning about people and how we understand the world around us. After college, I have worked in a variety of settings from schools to crisis centers, providing mental health support through counseling services. I enjoy working with others in a collaborative environment.  

What should someone know about working with you?  

I approach all my clients with compassion and dignity. I infuse humor to illustrate ideas. I can be direct and challenge your assumptions to encourage you to realize your best self. I use Cognitive Behavioral Techniques to help you identify patterns of behavior in your life and to determine the best ways to evoke change through effective counseling services.
