About Me

Prior to becoming a Licensed Psychologist, I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for almost 10 years. I graduated from Penn State with a double major in Psychology and Women's Studies. I attended Capella University for my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. In 2025, I graduated with a PhD in School Psychology and I am a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP). I maintain my LPC in order to provide licensure supervision to LAPCs.

• I also provide support to children and their parents during infancy and early childhood.

Providers who have achieved this designation have completed trainings and passed a certification exam focused on perinatal mental health, and are required to complete ongoing continuing education credits within this area. 

  • As an IBCLC, I am especially aware of the strong relationships between maternal mental health and infant feeding struggles and infant development. However, I do not provide lactation support to mental health clients.

PFR can also be delivered to childcare caregivers (such as daycare teachers).
