Originally from Ireland and trained in London, I’m a licensed clinical social worker and uk-registered psychotherapist and researcher with a background in four distinct schools of therapy: psychoanalytic, existential, integrative, and hedonic.

I now live and practice in Greater Boston, Massachusetts. Before relocating to Chicago in 2017, I ran a private practice in Hamburg, Germany and provided consultation to the British National Health Service (NHS).

I hold a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in  psychotherapy and psychology from Regent's University London and the University of Northampton. Additionally, I was awarded an undergraduate degree in social work, as well as Master’s degrees in clinical social work, psychotherapy and counselling, and hedonic psychotherapy studies from Walden University, Regent’s University London, and the University of Sheffield respectively.

In addition, I hold post-graduate certifications in Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Training (CCTP-I&II), Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and advanced Motivational Interviewing (MI).
