After growing up in Pittsburgh, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in psychology from The Ohio State University. While completing my coursework to earn a Master’s in clinical mental health counseling at Northwestern University, I am also working in the hospital setting using CBT and DBT frameworks to facilitate psychoeducational groups for adults.

My training in the psychodynamic approach to therapy has shaped my perspective on the therapeutic process. Using the psychodynamic approach, I encourage clients to identify and address the root causes of their inner turmoil in order to develop enduring solutions. I believe that clients can achieve personal growth and long-term wellness through practicing self-awareness, exploring past experiences, and processing difficult emotions. During each session I aim to provide an environment where clients feel empowered to confront their challenges and build themselves a meaningful, fulfilling life.
