Education: I received my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from CACREP-accredited Georgian Court University, Lakewood, NJ. Prior to obtaining my master’s degree, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Saint Peter’s University, Jersey City, NJ. I am now a Licensed Associate Counselor as well as National Certified Counselor. I have worked with many different people of varying backgrounds in my previous counseling work. I believe in meeting my client where they are at emotionally and mentally each and every session.
Experience: During my lifetime, I have always had a very deeply invested interest in the psychology of the mind and how we, as people, develop emotionally, mentally and how that all connects to our physicality. This in turn had been applied to my undergraduate career by integrating that research into my work. I believed by delivering evidence-based and clinically-informed information to people about how interaction in all environments is fueled I could help more people feel heard, understood and empowered. This is where, at the end of my undergraduate career, I found myself diving deeper into the Psychological Profession. Thus, gaining my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling then onto my licensure as an Associate Counselor. At my internship, I assisted multiple licensed counselors with running different groups including ones in the Ocean and Monmouth County Court Systems, working in individual sessions by myself or co-counseling with other licensed professionals. I worked diligently at recording group and individual data, maintaining client files and confidentiality, engaging clients and developing strong therapeutic relationships during our one-on-one sessions. I believe in a wholistic style of treatment as well as a holistic style of treatment. My treatment plans are all developed with the client’s world and life in mind. I am an Eclectic (also known as Integrated) therapist, which means I develop treatments with my clients based in multiple theories about how change occurs, all of which are within of my scope of knowledge.
Philosophy: My focus has and always will be on applying myself for the needs of my clients. It is important in this line of work to be as educated and available as possible for each individual and help them reach their goals. I devote much time to the development of my skills outside of sessions as to be the most helpful to my clientele in their journeys. I recognize every person has a unique life path and that path has many turns and obstacles, but for me to be able to help in the most effective way I need to meet them where they are at and walk side by side with them through it, so one day they may be able to by themselves with relative ease.
About Me, Hobbies, Activities: I have many hobbies that access my creative side such as cosplay, playing video games, baking and crocheting. I enjoy my off time watching anime, reading (manga and fiction books) and spending time with my family, partner, and friends. Lastly, I also spend much time to the research and development of my own skills for therapeutic purposes; I believe in being a life-long learner.
