I graduated from DeSales University with my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, with concentrations in Clinical Counseling and Forensic Psychology. In 2024, I graduated from Moravian University with my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling. Both programs provided a solid educational foundation and the clinical tools needed for me to treat individuals with a wide variety of issues. 

Counseling is a second career for me. I have worked in the medical education field for nearly 18 years and prior to that I worked in the human resources field. However, I always knew that being a counselor was my life's calling, and I never forgot that life-long dream. Though it took many years, I finally achieved my goal and am thrilled to be part of the Lehigh Valley Counseling team as I begin my career as a counselor. 

My clinical experience thus far includes working with patients in the hospital setting, school setting, and private practice setting. I have always been intrigued by why people do the things they do. Human behavior is fascinating, and I thoroughly enjoy helping people gain insight into their lives. Counseling might seem intimidating to some people, but my belief is that it is just as beneficial as going to a physician when you are sick or injured, or going to the dentist for cleanings and checkups. Our bodies and minds are so intricately intertwined, and taking care of both is paramount to living a healthy life. My therapeutic approach is to offer a compassionate, welcoming, safe space for patients of all ages to open up at their comfort level, allowing me to help them on their journey.
