After a 20 plus year career as a dietitian, I sought more meaning in my work and returned to school to obtain my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated with a joint degree from Southern New Hampshire and Northern Vermont University in August 2020. I have worked in both mental health and substance use counseling in a variety of settings ranging from outpatient to residential.

I strive to maintain a sense of humility in my counseling practice. I have been inspired by multiple counseling theories including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered counseling, dialectical behavior therapy, and existential /humanistic counseling.  I approach counseling from a fundamental person-centered stance, which means that I believe that the client has the answers within themselves more often than not. In the course of supporting you with the concerns that brought you to counseling, I will help you uncover and appreciate your strengths. We will collaborate to develop your personal goals, over both the short- and long-term. This allows us to maintain focus and direction within the counseling experience, fostering forward movement in your life.
