I have always been passionate about helping others. I was inspired by social workers I knew growing up and the positive change they could make in the lives of those around them.
When it was time to choose a major in college, I originally chose teaching with the intention of teaching special education. However, I quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit for me during a “math for teachers” class (I got a D-—math is definitely not my strong suit!). But that’s okay—I switched to social work and knew it was exactly where I was meant to be. I graduated with my BSW from West Chester University and continued on to earn my Masters in Social Work from Kean University. Since graduating, I’ve gained experience in various areas of social work, including working in a children’s hospital, community mental health, and psychiatric care. I’ve been practicing outpatient therapy for over 10 years now and love being able to support my clients in the meaningful ways that I do.
In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, sipping a good cup of coffee, and taking neighborhood walks.
