After growing up in NH, I attended Ithaca College in upstate NY, and graduated with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Gerontology as a first-generation college student. I obtained my Master’s degree in Psychology from San Diego State University, where I taught Developmental Psychology and worked in several research labs at SDSU and UCSD on topics including depression and anxiety. I then moved to Morgantown, WV, where I earned my PhD at West Virginia University. I have been providing individual counseling services for over twenty years. As someone who is filled with awe by beauty in the world, including the beauty of human vulnerability, I listen for understanding, communicate sincerely, and support others to feel safe and confident. I believe clients walk away with increased awareness of their unique strengths and how to feel and live in relatively empowering ways.
