Living and Working More Congruently
Founder of Congruent Soul and Co-Founder of MFT GROW
My work is rooted in one core idea: learning how to live more congruently. Not perfectly aligned, but honestly connected to yourself in real life.
My career began in intensive outpatient drug and alcohol recovery, where I first learned how deeply people can heal when they are met with honesty, safety, and compassion. From there, I moved into working with neurodivergent adults, which is where I began to understand my own neurospicy identity.
Eventually, I stepped into my dream job supporting high-functioning women navigating emotional exhaustion, overthinking, and people-pleasing patterns. During this time, I also served as Clinical Director at an award-winning group practice.
On the outside, everything looked fine. On the inside, I was burning out.
Stepping down from that role became a turning point. Congruent Soul began as a space for therapeutic insights and resources for fellow overthinkers and recovering people-pleasers. It eventually evolved into Congruent Soul Therapy, my private practice, where I continue this work through therapy while also sharing tools and reflections from lived experience.
Alongside my clinical work, Somewhat Congruent emerged as a separate space for writing, art, and personal expression, giving my creative voice a place to exist outside of the therapy room.
Later, I co-created MFT GROW, a professional development initiative supporting emerging therapists in building grounded, sustainable careers.
My work is rooted in deep respect for the complexity of being human, especially in a world that often rewards disconnection from self and others.
Who I Work With
The humans who find me are often overthinkers, perfectionists, burnt-out helpers, deep feelers, high-achievers who can’t rest, and adults in the messy middle of holding it all together.
Many are LGBTQIA+ folks, ADHD and neurodivergent minds, “fixers,” caretakers, and sensitive souls with tired nervous systems.
Most are highly self-aware, yet still stuck in patterns of overthinking, over-responsibility, burnout, and self-abandonment—functioning on the outside while struggling internally.
If you’ve ever felt like everyone else got the manual for life that you missed… you’ll feel understood here.
What Therapy Feels Like With Me
Expect real talk, gentle sarcasm, and honest reflection.
We explore patterns as they show up in real time, not just intellectually.
This work includes:
noticing how anxiety shows up in the body
understanding overthinking as protection, not flaw
exploring people-pleasing and boundary patterns
reconnecting with needs that have been pushed aside
working with relational patterns as they actually happen
This is not about fixing you.
It’s about helping you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels usable in real life.
There will be space for messiness, humor, tears, clarity, and the moments where things finally start to make sense.
Credentials & Clinical Approach
M.A. Marriage & Family Therapy – Seton Hill University
B.A. Art Therapy – Seton Hill University
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (PA, GA)
Florida Telehealth Registered
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania and Georgia, I work from a relational, systems-based lens.
In simpler terms: we look at how your patterns were formed, how they show up in your relationships today, and how they impact your ability to feel grounded, present, and connected to yourself.
Many clients I work with already have a strong awareness of their patterns. What’s often missing is the ability to slow down enough to experience something different in real time, not just understand it intellectually.
In therapy, we may explore:
How anxiety shows up in the body and nervous system
How overthinking can replace emotional experience
How people-pleasing patterns formed and continue
How did you learned to disconnect from your own needs
How relational patterns repeat even when you understand them
This is not just talk therapy. It’s a process of noticing, experiencing, and gently shifting patterns as they happen.
Why I Do This Work
I’m a neurospicy overthinker and recovering people-pleaser myself, which means I understand how loud the mind can get, how easy it is to over-function, and how hard it can be to slow down enough to hear yourself.
My work lives at the intersection of psychology, nervous system awareness, and whole-person healing.
That’s where real transformation actually happens.
Here’s a little more about the work I offer and the spaces I’ve created.
-

Holistic wellness practices for adults seeking grounding, self-connection, and intentional growth.
Congruent Soul Wellness offers Reiki, intuitive practices, rituals, workshops, and reflective tools designed to support mindfulness, emotional awareness, and a deeper relationship with yourself.
Wellness offerings for individuals exploring personal growth, self-reflection, and intentional practices alongside their own healing journey.
-
A space for writing, insight, creative expression, and aggressively human reflections on what it actually looks like to consider congruency in real time.
Somewhat Congruent grew alongside my clinical work as a place where reflection, honesty, and personal healing could stay alive outside of the therapy room and exist in a more human, creative form.
No one is 100% congruent all the time, so here, we aim for “somewhat congruent” and keep it real while we grow.

This is my pride and joy.
Congruent Soul was built for overthinkers, perfectionists, and people-pleasers in the process of coming back to themselves. It’s a place to pause, reflect, and take what resonates while leaving the rest.
There is no requirement here, only an invitation. Whether you are in therapy or simply in a season of self-exploration, this space is for reconnecting with yourself in a more congruent way.

A dedicated space for therapists and healers to grow their clinical repertoire through consultation, trainings, and support rooted in post-modern, systemic feminism, collaboration, and real-world application in clinical practice.
This work centers overthinking, people-pleasing recovery, and supporting neurospicy therapists who are navigating professional spaces in ways that feel more authentic, sustainable, and aligned.
I am so tired of all of us fearing what is and isn’t “professional.” Let’s have real conversations about what actually helps us do this work well.

A professional development space co-created with Jessica Alexander, LMFT to support emerging therapists in building grounded, sustainable, and aligned careers.

These MFT exam prep products are based on the exact study system I used while preparing for and passing the exam. Instead of overwhelming notes or disconnected materials, everything is organized into clear theory-based study guides, one-page summaries, audio reviews, and active recall tools to help you study with more structure and less stress.
