​I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Husson University in 2022. At that time, I had a strong interest in working in substance use and addiction treatment and gained valuable experience working in a residential detox setting. As graduation approached, I began to recognize how closely substance use and mental health are often connected, and how rarely one exists without the other. That realization motivated me to pursue additional education so I could support clients more fully and not be limited to substance use treatment alone.

I went on to earn my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bellevue University. During my time in graduate school, I gained valuable clinical experience working alongside a Clinical Psychologist in private practice for nearly two years. Through that experience, I developed a strong foundation in psychological assessment and evaluation, which further strengthened my understanding of complex presentations and continues to inform my work as a therapist.

I completed my master’s degree in March 2026, applied for licensure immediately after graduation, and began taking the final steps toward opening my private practice. I am currently focused on building SV Therapy and providing individualized counseling, while also continuing to grow professionally. I will be attending the University of Southern Maine to pursue doctoral training in School Psychology as part of my long-term commitment to expanding the depth and breadth of care I can offer.
