<div class="about-text">
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I am a limited permit clinical mental health counselor (MHC-LP) and counselor educator in training,
|
||||
deeply committed to lifelong professional growth and the advancement of the counseling profession.
|
||||
I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and am currently
|
||||
pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Waynesburg University.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
My professional identity is built on three pillars: <strong>leadership</strong> through advocacy and service,
|
||||
<strong>mentorship</strong> through clinical supervision and teaching, and <strong>trauma-informed practice</strong>
|
||||
across clinical, educational, and supervisory settings. I believe that the most impactful counselors are
|
||||
shaped by intentional, relationally grounded training — and I strive to be part of that shaping process
|
||||
for every student and supervisee I work with.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
My clinical experience spans crisis intervention, addiction counseling, and long-term individual therapy,
|
||||
with additional service as a doctoral student supervisor and graduate assistant supporting academic success
|
||||
initiatives. I am passionate about bringing evidence-based, culturally responsive care to every setting I enter.
