Salve Regina University

Professional Interests

I enjoy working with college students and emerging adults as they transition to, through, and away from college by helping them to explore their values, strengthen their identities, and increase their sense of agency. As a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology, my research interests are heavily centered around psychological intervention and well-being in performance populations. Most of my work is more specifically focused on collegiate student-athlete populations.

Theoretical Orientation

I strive to approach therapy with a client-centered, strength-based perspective. I believe collaboration, communication, and compassion are key to understanding my clients and their experiences. Fostering a relationship that holds these values high will allow my clients and I to work together to set goals and find solutions to help with their concerns. While I approach therapy with an integrative perspective based on the needs of my clients, my core theoretical approach is mostly built on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Personal Interests

In my free time, I love being outside, going to sporting events, and spending time with family and friends. I’ve really enjoyed spending time in the mountains since moving to Tennessee, and appreciate finding new scenic trails and hikes. I also love trying new arts and crafts projects or DIYs!
