Canisius College, Buffalo, NY

During my undergraduate education, I engaged in a comprehensive examination of the complex interplay between individual behavior and broader social systems. This academic foundation not only deepened my understanding of psychological and sociological principles but also served as a critical underpinning for my development as a clinician. Complementing my major, my minor in Community and Family Studies offered a focused exploration of the relational, cultural, and systemic factors that shape personal and collective well-being. This interdisciplinary approach fostered a nuanced appreciation for the roles that families, communities, and environments play in shaping individual experiences and mental health outcomes.

University of San Francisco

My graduate training at the University of San Francisco further refined and expanded my clinical competencies through both rigorous academic coursework and extensive hands-on practicum experience. This program emphasized culturally responsive and evidence-based therapeutic modalities, allowing me to develop a strong theoretical framework alongside practical skills. Through this education, I gained the tools necessary to effectively support a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families across a spectrum of mental health concerns. My training placed a strong emphasis on relational dynamics, social justice, and trauma-informed care—elements that remain central to my therapeutic approach today.
