I earned a Bachelor of Arts from Drew University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. From 2000-2016, I counseled at the Hotchkiss School, a competitive New England boarding high school, where I gained extensive experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma and loss, along with numerous other adolescent issues.
As a result, a sizable portion of the work I have done is to address and diffuse "perfectionism" and its repercussions.
I utilize several approaches in my work, including: Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness strategies, in order to help others manage symptoms, reduce stress and realize preferred values to better guide life choices.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut. I enjoy collaborating with educational systems and health professionals when supporting clients.
