I have been in the field for over 10 years and have worked in a wide range of mental health settings. Currently, I am working towards my ADHD-CCSP in order to better serve the "lost generation" of adult women with late diagnosis ADHD. My wide range of experience and areas of expertise serve my clients well. Clients often comment on my warmth, openness, understanding, and ability to make clients feel at ease. I believe everyone is an expert in their own experience and aligns with the notion that providers are there to guide clients to their own decisions in what is right for them.

I like to say that I was born to be a social worker. From a young age, my sense of justice and advocacy were apparent. I find a sense of purpose and fulfillment in creating connections and helping others to grow and heal.

In the summer, I love boat rides and the Jersey shore! I love spending time with my family and rescue dog, Maverick. I also enjoy catching a concert or settling in with a good mystery novel when time allows.

I recharge by either spending time with loved ones or by putting on my most comfy clothes and hanging on the couch with my dog and Netflix.

I have always been a dog lover! Growing up we had an English Springer Spaniel named Judge. As soon as I was off on my own and was able, I adopted a rescue Pitty Mix named Maverick. My favorite Maverick story is that when he was a puppy, he could escape any containment we tried. He would escape his crate, jump over the gate we put up, and when we raised the gate he went under it! We had a camera to watch his antics and would post them on Facebook for family and friends. We would get messages often about how everyone loved his antics, and we eventually came to refer to him as the "Mischievous Maverick".
