I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Johnson State College in 2015, with a concentration in clinical mental health. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from Springfield College, with a concentration in Early Childhood Education. I have worked with families and children  for the past 12 years, providing direct care, crisis support, case management, and counseling (individual, couples, and family) in both private and agency settings.   

Therapeutic Orientation:        

Humanistic- The humanistic method takes a positive view of human nature and emphasizes the uniqueness of the individual. Therapists in this tradition, who are interested in exploring the nature of creativity, love, and self-actualization, help clients realize their potential through change and self-directed growth.    

Gestalt- Gestalt therapy seeks to integrate the client's behaviors, feelings, and thinking, so that their intentions and actions may be aligned for optimal mental health. The therapist will help the client become more self aware, to live more in the present, and to assume more responsibility for taking care of them self.    

Transpersonal- Transpersonal therapy emphasizes the transcendent or spiritual aspects of a client's development. A transpersonal therapist may help the client cultivate a greater sense of connectedness with others, with nature, and with a higher spirit.

Psychoanalytic- Psychoanalysis is an in-depth form of therapy. The client learns what conscious and unconscious wishes drive their patterns of thinking and behavior on the theory that, by making the unconscious conscious, they will make more educated choices over how they think and act.
