About me..
I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Adelphi University and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Oneonta State University. With a passion for helping others heal and grow, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Early in my career, I worked extensively with sexual assault and rape survivors, offering critical support and advocating for their healing and empowerment.
​I work with adults facing day-to-day challenges, helping them find clarity, build resilience, and empower themselves to lead fulfilling lives. Whether it’s overcoming personal obstacles or finding balance in a fast-paced world, I’m committed to providing compassionate and evidence-based support that promotes lasting transformation.
​
Additionally, I work with adolescents and their families as they navigate the complexities of modern life, from identity and personal growth to managing mental health and transitions.
What sets me apart...
1. Being a Cancer Survivor
My journey as a cancer survivor has given me profound insight into resilience, strength, and the power of perseverance. It has shaped my ability to empathize with others facing health challenges, allowing me to provide support with a deep sense of understanding and compassion.
​
2. Experiencing Life Changes
Having moved across the country multiple times and pursued a career as an actress, I know firsthand the challenges of adapting to new environments, embracing change, and finding purpose in unexpected places. These experiences enable me to connect with clients who are going through transitions or seeking new directions in life.
​
3. Having Children
Raising children has taught me invaluable lessons in patience, love, and personal growth. My experience as a parent gives me a unique perspective on family dynamics, emotional well-being, and the complexities of nurturing and guiding others through life’s ups and downs.
​
4. Caring for an Elderly Parent
Caring for an elderly parent has been both a humbling and rewarding experience. It has provided me with firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by caregivers, from navigating healthcare systems to balancing self-care while ensuring the best for your loved ones.
​
5. Children in College
As a parent a child in college (across the country), I understand the emotional and financial pressures that come with supporting young adults as they pursue higher education. I bring a wealth of experience in guiding both parents and students through the transition into adulthood.
