Although I am currently a mental health counselor, I have spent a long career in a variety of settings! I attended UMass Dartmouth where I majored in Chemistry for 3 years before switching majors. I completed my Associate of Art in Psychology at Middlesex Community College, Bachelor of Art in Psychology at UMass Lowell, Master of Art in Forensic and Counseling Psychology at William James College, and Master of Public Health through University of New England. In 2017 I became independently licensed in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

I have worked in many different settings throughout my career to include school-aged childcare, residential programs for both mental health and intellectual disabilities, day habilitation, psychiatric crisis assessments, providing intensive in-home serives for families involved in child protection or juvenile justice, adult corrections, and outpatient private practice. I worked with the state in providing my expertise for investigations into ethical complaints.

For post-license work I became certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C), certified Emergency Responder Clinician, and a STAR Behavioral Health Provider. I am trained with ICISF/CISM to provide clinical support for debriefing within the first responder community. I continue to work full-time in a local emergency room providing psychiatric crisis services. My approach as a therapist is strong, and I enjoy helping clients reach their goals.
