My Background

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Plymouth State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Keene State College. My clinical foundation was built in agency and community mental health settings, where I provided trauma-informed counseling to children, adolescents, young mothers, and families. I have supported clients navigating complex trauma, parenting stress, disordered eating, poverty, and child welfare involvement, often in collaboration with schools, medical providers, and state agencies.

During my internship, I worked with pregnant and parenting young women facing relational harm, trauma, eating concerns, parenting challenges, and systemic barriers. I later served as a Child and Family Therapist in a community mental health center, offering individual and group therapy for children and families navigating foster care, trauma, disordered eating, divorce, and emotional regulation difficulties. After pausing clinical work to focus on family, I return with a renewed perspective and deepened appreciation for the emotional complexity of caregiving, identity, and healing within families..
