I graduated from Adler University with a dual master’s degree in Sport & Human Performance (MS) and Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling (MA). Prior to my time at Adler, I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in Psychology with a focus on social justice and advocacy work. Through my educational experiences I’ve worked as a behavioral technician with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, as a mental performance consultant for Benedictine University’s athletic department, and as a vocational rehabilitation counselor at Jesse Brown VA Medical Center.

People deserve to feel seen and have space to show up as their most authentic selves. I utilize CBT, ACT, and narrative therapeutic approaches to empower clients to build coping skills, acknowledge your innate power, and build momentum for positive change and growth- even when it feels just out of reach. Humor, empathy, and psychoeducation help support these approaches in session. I have experience working with adults and young adults, as well as active-duty military personnel, veterans, queer folks and communities, athletes, individuals navigating life transitions, and individuals with disability and/or chronic illness.

As well as being an LPC, I also am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), specializing in disability, chronic illness, and EMDR.
