I have over five years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Saint Vincent College in 2019 and went on to complete my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Duquesne University, graduating in 2021.

During graduate school, I worked in a college counseling center providing mental health services to students on campus. After graduating, I joined a family service agency as a school-based therapist, where I collaborated closely with students, families, and school staff to identify barriers to academic, social, and emotional development. In this role, I gained experience working with concerns such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

In the summers, I continue to pursue my passion for working with youth as a summer camp Area Director in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After three years in school-based therapy, I received my LPC in the state of Pennsylvania. I transitioned into an outpatient clinic setting, where I expanded my skills using a variety of therapeutic approaches while working with individuals across the lifespan.

Therapy is a space for vulnerability, openness, and genuine connection. I believe authenticity matters, which is why I’m open about parts of my own life, including my travels, my dog Link, and my love for hiking. I invite you to show up as your full, authentic self in our work together

With Gratitude,

Nick
