Why did you choose the mental health field?

Psychology always fascinated me when I was younger, so it had always been on my mind. When it came time to start applying for college and choosing a major, psychology felt like a continuation of all the activities I was already doing that I loved best, nearly all of them including helping people or service to others in various ways. 

What population of clients do you serve? Why that population?

While I may provide psychological testing throughout the lifespan, I do therapy with adults 18 and over. I really, really love working with college students because they are at the perfect phase of life where they are learning more about themselves, deciding what they want and how they want their future to look.

Where did you move from and how are you liking the Triangle area?

I am originally from South Jersey, but my husband and I moved to Raleigh from Richmond, VA for his job last Spring. While we are still exploring Chapel Hill and all it has to offer, we are loving Raleigh!!

How would you describe your style of therapy?

Fundamentally, my style of therapy is based in CBT, but I love incorporating values into the therapy process to solidify rapport and create a unique lens to view the client’s treatment from and ensure that their treatment is in alignment with what is most important to them.

What is something you enjoy doing for fun?

My husband and I are big movie buffs, so you can catch us at the movies nearly every week! We are also gearing up for all the fall activities that we look forward to all year like apple picking, pumpkin carving, and haunted houses!

Share a fun fact about yourself!

I love to bake for fun and I can make macarons! I also have created an interactive step-coupling/blended family workbook for couples counseling during my time in my graduate program, which is still being used in the Couples Therapy clinic in my program to this day!
