Great to meet you!

Hi there! The theme of my professional experience is summed up in this thought: I enjoy helping others reduce barriers to communication. Part of my experience developed as a Teacher Assistant to children with Speech-Language disorders. I went on to gain my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in Christian Counseling. My skills grew working in a Residential facility for addiction as a Clinical Therapist, and as a Mental Wellness Counselor on a university campus.

My approach to therapy

In my approach, I believe my role is that of a collaborator. Authenticity, confidentiality, and compassion are what you can expect as part of my commitment to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space for you to explore your challenges and strengths. I subscribe to the person-centered framework and believe you are the expert on yourself. To further support clients, I became trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, commonly known as EMDR.

What you can expect from me

My philosophy is: small steps can achieve big goals. Individuals working with me can expect to feel heard, seen, and valued. Are you ready to take a courageous step in your healing journey? I am honored to collaborate with individuals seeking to gain self-discovery and healing.
