I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors with a variety of conditions from depression or anxiety to trauma and dissociative identity disorder. 

My therapeutic philosophy centers on person-centered and integrative techniques. I tailor each treatment plan to the unique needs of my clients. I am actively involved in community initiatives, providing crisis counseling, trauma-focused therapy, and psycho-educational groups for underserved populations.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Human Services in 2017 and my Master of Science with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling in 2020.

I have gained experience working with individuals as a certified nursing assistant, childcare provider, substance abuse counselor, behavioral therapist, and in a private practice setting working with children and families.

Together, we will work to decrease impulsive behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that interfere with daily functioning and self-growth. Exploring positive alternatives and healthy habits will improve your ability to face life's stressors. Building trust, healthy rapport, and a new mindset is vital to lasting success.

My job is not to convince you to live a productive life, but to explore skills that help you take control of your own direction. I work with individuals navigating self-discovery, communication, acceptance, life transitions, anxiety, depression, burnout, and women's issues. All progress made in therapy is success—and an encouragement to keep going.
