I opened Center For Therapeutic Change, LLC., to help clients learn the skills required to maximize the overall joy in their lives. I truly believe everyone wants better for themselves and their families, they just feel stuck now and then in the process. If you want a counselor who will walk with you every step of the way, I'm your girl. Call me now, so the healing can begin.
I have an extensive backgroud working in various mental health settings including an inpatient psychiatric unit, two intensive outpatient programs (one for substance abuse and the other for chronically mentally ill patients). Currently, I work with adolescents and their families in the juvenile justice system.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor #5344, Board Approved LPC Supervisor and a Nationally Certified Counselor #280360. I earned my Ph.D. from University of Holy Cross in 2018 in counselor education & supervision and I earned my MA from University of Holy Cross in 2012 with a concentration in marriage and family counseling.
