Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA, I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Boston University. After working for several years at an inpatient psychiatric facility for adolescents, I moved back to Pennsylvania to pursue a Master's in Social Work from West Chester University.
Upon graduating, I began working with adult violent offenders recently released from prison, while also facilitating Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills groups at an inpatient facility for members of the Catholic clergy. In 2016 I helped develop a private practice that specialized in providing Comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy for adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and severe suicidal behaviors.
In 2018, I packed up my clinical experience—and whatever belongings would fit in my Mini Cooper—and moved across the country to Park City. After several years working in community mental health, I decided to branch out on my own and open a private practice where I could focus on what I’m most passionate about: trauma-informed therapy and helping people create meaningful change.
My passions outside of therapy include weightlifting, trail running, hiking, spending time with my dog Milkshake, and purchasing more books than I have time to read.
