I was born and raised in Liverpool, New York and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociological Deviance from Buffalo State College. Following that, I completed a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy with a Certificate of Advanced Study in Addiction Studies from Syracuse University.
After graduate school, I moved to Federal Way, Washington and worked for Community Psychiatric Clinic supporting families with youth transitioning out of juvenile rehabilitation back into the community. In 2015, I moved to Craig to work with Community Connections as a Child and Family Therapist and became a Licensed Professional Counselor in March 2022.
Since October 2022, I have been working with the Klawock City School District as a School-Based Clinician, providing mental health support to students and their families.
In my free time, I enjoy gardening, disc golf, photography, subsistence activities, and spending time outdoors with family and friends.
