I spent the first decade of my career as a middle school teacher, specializing in teaching students with learning disabilities and ADHD. I earned my Master’s in Education from Hunter College in New York City and taught first in the Bronx and then in Cincinnati. I still maintain an Intervention Specialist teaching license in Ohio. My background in education informs my counseling practice; after all, school is where we spend much of our time! I utilize my knowledge and experience to help advocate for my clients and collaborate with school professionals and parents. 

In 2020, I decided to make the big leap from teaching to counseling and graduated from Xavier University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program two years later. I interned with a behavioral health team within a pediatrician’s office in Northern Kentucky and continue to work there. With counseling, I feel like I have found my calling. It is a privilege and a joy to get to work with all of my clients and watch the hard work and progress they put into the counseling process.
