It all began with a million mistakes:

I began early adulthood feeling so lost and unsure, switching majors before finding my passion in psychology. I dropped out of college twice, taking two separate gap years trying to figure out what I wanted to do. The first time I dropped out, I had ran away from my own life for too long before I caught up with myself — you always bring you with you, no matter where you land. I was pre-med, art therapy, nursing… all things that I thought I wanted.

The truth was, I had zero idea what I wanted, so I went by what anyone in my life wanted. People-pleasing was my default for quite some time. My own mental health was suffering because of doing what I thought was right for me, but was really only right according to everyone else. The second gap year, I landed in IOP and in the beginning, I started wondering what I was going to do: 21, dropped out of college twice, lost, shell of a human being. IOP gave me the strength to take the risk, and as fate would have it, there was a job fair at a local inpatient psych hospital and I got a job as a tech. It changed my life, and I knew this was it for me. I met people who I still call my mentors today and worked there while finishing undergrad. Eventually, I graduated with a BS in Psychology from Penn State in 2018 and went straight into graduate school, finishing with my MA in Counseling from Arcadia University in 2021.

Currently, I primarily work with queer-identifying, neurodivergent individuals and am working towards becoming a Narcissistic Abuse Trained Clinician (NATC) to assist in my work with victims of narcissistic abuse. Group therapy has been a very huge part of my work as Summer 2024. I love being a therapist and watching people grow over the years of work we do together, it’s my favorite part of this type of work, therapy, coaching, and even my own self-work. This is all so important to me and I want to share my experience to help you grow, reach your goals, and genuinely feel at home within yourself. There truly is no better feeling.

All of this to say: I’ve been so unsure of myself so many times throughout the years in so many different areas of my life.

It was in the mistakes, the falling on my face, all of the failures that needed to happen in order to bring me to where I am today. And I want to take all of that pain and give that pain purpose — helping and guiding others through difficult life transitions and experiences.

Whether you’re struggling with a major life change, gender identity and sexuality, fallout of trauma, religious trauma, relationships, career, education: I can help you live.
