My ever-evolving approach to counseling rests on the concept that growth occurs in connection and that experiences of disconnection that we have had throughout our lives lead to the problems, issues, or false narratives we struggle with in the “here and now.” Addressing and reframing these experiences of disconnection and the issues that have developed as a result helps us to reach new levels of growth and self-awareness and to enhance the way we relate to ourselves which ripples out into the way we connect to others and to the world around us. This approach is heavily influenced by relational cultural and person-centered theories of counseling. I believe firmly in the strength of the therapeutic relationship between myself and clients and I welcome clients of all backgrounds and strive to meet each client where they are at; consider the context of their beliefs, values, and lived experiences; and tailor treatment accordingly.

I completed my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling at Southern New Hampshire University in April, 2023. As a pre-licensed clinician, I offer in-person and virtual counseling sessions at a sliding scale rate through HAWK & hummingbird Holistic Healing in Providence, RI under the supervision of Natalie Monaghan.
