My specializations include working with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, as well as parenting support for parents of LGBTQ+ children. I previously worked at Montclair State University's LGBTQ center where I designed and implemented safe space education, engaged in community outreach and advocacy, and provided individual and group counseling to LGBTQ+ students. I was awarded the Trailblazer Pride Award by Montclair State University, a queer leadership award "presented to an outstanding LGBTQ-identified student, faculty, or staff member at Montclair State University who, through their dedication, left their mark on campus and paved the way for others to follow." I also have extensive experience working with college and high school students navigating developmental difficulties of identity formation, transitions in emerging adulthood, social/relational challenges, and stressful academic workloads.
Prior to founding Inner Arrow Counseling and Wellness, I enriched my counseling experiences in diverse settings including mental health group practice, graduate and undergraduate student advisement, community services, career development, and higher education leadership. I holds a B.S. in Culture and Communications from NYU, an M.A. in Counseling from Montclair State University, and completed additional masters level coursework in Clinical Psychology at Teachers College.
I completed my RYT-200 through High Energy Fusion Yoga in Woodland Park, where I am also now a substitute yoga instructor. I also get to teach yoga with some fabulous GOAT coworkers through Totes Goats Yoga. Through Inner Arrow Counseling and Wellness, I offer remote or in-home private individual and private group yoga instruction.
I am a passionate social and racial justice advocate who enjoys hiking, cooking, and fostering/caring for dogs in my spare time.
