Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in AZ and WI, Certified Biblical Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I don’t just bring textbook therapy skills to the table—I bring life experience, authenticity, and a fierce commitment to helping you heal. What really sets me apart is my "spicy" approach. Therapy with me isn’t cookie-cutter. I respect the foundational theories, but I thrive on making sessions as dynamic and individualized as you need them to be.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I’ve been through my own healing, and I know firsthand that therapy works. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re in a tough spot, ready for a major breakthrough, or just looking to make sense of life’s chaos. With tattoos, a big personality, and a deep passion for fostering real change, I make therapy a space where you can be yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

If you’re ready to get real, dive deep, and make the changes you’ve been thinking about, let’s get started. My goal is to help you feel good and to share that goodness with others. It might not be easy, but it will be worth it. Trust yourself and trust the process. Let’s work together to stop generational trauma. I believe in YOU.
