About me

I have 14 years of experience working with individuals in a variety of settings, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, and helping these individuals work through the obstacles that life tosses at them. I also have 20+ years of experience working in EMS and in Volunteer Fire Departments. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Related Therapy, and Critical Incident Stress Management. For the past 4 years I have helped families navigate through grief, loss, and understanding traumatic incidents while working in a local Emergency Department.

I attended Cairn University for undergraduate studies, Bachelor in Social Work and a Bachelor in Biblical Studies, and the University of Pittsburgh for a Master in Social Work. I am currently Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania.

Throughout my experiences, both professional and personal, I can honestly say life is unpredictable, and sometimes we need someone to help guide us through those times.

Better Help is so easy to use and takes away the difficulty of a traditional therapy experience. I have been able to quickly and painlessly participate in therapy without having to travel somewhere in my city during the workday or have to ask for time off during the workday which is very helpful to me. It’s good to be validated in how I am processing difficult situations.
