I graduated from Shippensburg University in 2016, with my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I have worked in outpatient mental health settings. This has included community mental health, drug and alcohol and most recently an adult partial hospitalization program. However, before even becoming a counselor, I have held employment as a direct support staff working with those diagnosed with mental health conditions as well as intellectual development disabilities. I was also a paraeducator for an individual with autism spectrum disorder. After finding myself drawn to help students with mental health concerns, I decided to change my career path from teacher to counselor.
