I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2012, beginning my journey after earning my bachelor’s degree from Marywood University. I completed my master’s degree in counseling at La Salle University in 2017, obtaining licensure in 2021, and have since gained experience in clinical practice, supervision and higher education. I am currently a PhD student in Counselor Education and Supervision at Waynesburg University.

Outside of my professional work, I’m a mom and value spending time outdoors with family and friends. I enjoy yoga, cycling, concerts, and intentionally creating moments of balance and connection—both personally and professionally.

At Sweet As Ever, people often come to me feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s getting in the way and begin creating meaningful change—at a pace that feels right for you.
