Counseling has been a path that I have always felt drawn to: meeting people in the midst of their struggles and pain and helping them find a path to hope again. Life is hard and sometimes throws you curveballs that you were not planning to have to catch. Sometimes those curveballs knock you down and you are not sure how you will be able to get back on your feet again. My hope is that through counseling, you will be able to discover new strength within yourself and walk an empowered life confident of who you are and who you are presently working to become.

 

My professional and clinical journey into the counseling field began in 2017 as I started my master’s degree program at Colorado Christian University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and received my degree in December 2019. Throughout my practicum and internship experiences, I provided services to college students, adolescents, adults, and couples in many different walks of life who were experiencing a range of mental health concerns. I currently hold my professional counseling license by the Pennsylvania State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Professional Counselors (PC017608).

 

I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) recognized by the National Board of Certified Counselors, a private certifying agency that recognizes counselors who have distinguished themselves through meeting the board’s standards for education, knowledge, and experience. I am also a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). As of February 2022, I have completed the Level 1 Training for utilizing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model with clients and continue working on my skills through practice and continuing education. 

 

Outside of the professional realm, I enjoy spending time and making memories with my husband through playing our ever-growing collection of board games, bike riding, hiking, making and eating delicious food, and making music together. I love being outside in nature and take great joy and refreshment in the sunshine. My favorite color is purple and my favorite season is spring!

 

I look forward to connecting with you!
