I have been working as a counselor for approximately 8 years. I started my career as a mental health technician in a psychiatric hospital and moved into private practice from there. I graduated from Webster University with a Master's in Counseling.

My educational background is in both Clinical and Community Psychology. I conceptualize and intervene with clients with an understanding of individual and environmental contributing factors. Additionally, I have significant experiences working with people across the life span and in various settings. I bring this rich experience to my work with clients.

Healing trauma, stress, and anxiety with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care.

You don’t have to carry the weight of past experiences or constant stress alone. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, or self-doubt — even though from the outside, they seem “fine.” Inside, it’s exhausting to hold it all together.

I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, using approaches like CBT, ACT, solution-focused therapy, and MI. My work is centered on helping you untangle the impact of trauma and stress so you can feel safe in your own skin, find relief from anxiety, and begin to live more fully in the present.

I especially enjoy working with young adults who may be navigating college, early career challenges, or other responsibilities that feel heavier than expected. At the same time, age is just a number. If you’re connecting with my words, you’re welcome here!

In terms of credentials, I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), with a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology. I’m also a National Board Certified Counselor, and hold a certificate as a telehealth counselor.

As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life. Over the past ten years in this field, one thing I’ve consistently learned is that simply having someone to talk to can be one of the most challenging parts of the therapeutic process.

I am here to offer safety, empathy, and practical strategies that support you in thriving the way you desire
