About

Brené Brown said that “vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.” To be vulnerable, one needs to feel safe. My main goal when working with people is to make sure my clients find comfort in vulnerability. Through this vulnerability, the work is done.

I work to provide a safe, empathetic environment where you will feel empowered to create change. I believe that regardless of diagnosis, it is important to meet you where you are and be in communication about goals and needs. This is why my main focus is to build a strong therapeutic relationship. The feelings of trust and safety are top priorities for me, and I try to ensure that each client feels comfortable with me no matter what they bring in. I believe the therapeutic process necessitates a non-biased, positive environment to feel comfortable to learn and grow. I work to ensure that the therapeutic space is sensitive and inclusive to everyone. My approach is both direct and validating, and flows with the needs of the client, which allows clients to feel safe to be challenged and vulnerable.

Experience

I graduated from Chestnut Hill College in 2021 with a Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. I began at Harle Counseling as an intern, and was onboarded as a full-time clinician upon graduation. I have experience working with clients with LGBTQIA+ specific issues and women's issues, as well as clients presenting with a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, OCD, difficult family dynamics/members, and personality disorders. I work with adults and teens of all backgrounds.
