Great to meet you!

Early in life I realized how meaningful it is to be a part of someone's journey to wellness and healing. At first, I believed my passion would thrive in the field of physical health. I went to Towson University and received a B.S. in exercise science. Working as a personal trainer at the time, I realized how intertwined our mental and physical well-being truly are. During the pandemic, I decided to begin construction of the bridge between mental and physical health. I enrolled at Walden University and received an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I treat teens and adults who want to build self-esteem, reduce stress, overcome wounds of the past, and create a fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a holistic approach to therapy that incorporates cognitive strategies, somatic awareness, and lifestyle changes. You are the expert on your life. We will identify your core values and strengths to build a strong, genuine relationship within yourself and the world.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will answer the question "What would you like therapy to do for you?". Then we will bring awareness to your core values and explore how they are supported and challenged currently. This provides the foundation for your journey to wellness.
