I earned my Master of Science degree in Counseling, with a concentration in Rehabilitation, from the University of Southern Maine in August 2013. Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Community Studies, with a concentration in Applied Psychology, from the University of Maine at Machias in May 2010.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) since 2014. More recently, I became a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS), an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), and a Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) Certified Provider. Additionally, I am a retired Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a retired Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. While I do not utilize either of these certifications in my private practice, I still retain the educational background and expertise from these disciplines.

In my practice, I draw upon multiple theoretical frameworks, using a person-centered approach with a wellness-oriented model. My therapeutic modalities include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, complemented by psychoeducational materials and mindfulness-based techniques.
