About Me
I was born and raised in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My family’s annual summer vacation was a trip to the Jersey shore.
I earned a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University in 2008.
I drove across the country to relocate to Portland, Oregon in 2010. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I earned a Master of Social Work from Portland State University in 2014.
Since entering the field of mental health, I’ve worked with adolescents in residential treatment facilities, college students at a university mental health clinic, and adults at a nonprofit supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. I’ve worked as a Mental Health Therapist and Behavioral Health Clinician in a Primary Care Clinic since 2019.
I’m committed to my personal and professional growth. I attend monthly clinical supervision along with my own therapy.
I aim to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive. I work hard to stay educated and active. As a white, able-bodied cisgender female, I will always have more learning and work to do.
My greatest joys are my dog, Gertie (see pic below), laughing till my sides hurt, dancing at live music, long walks with friends, iced coffee on a hot day, and being near the ocean.
