Biography

I am a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor Associate dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life's challenges in a safe, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned two master's degrees—one in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and another in Psychology—which have provided me with a strong foundation for understanding the complexities of mental health and human behavior. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotional regulation difficulties, anger management concerns, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and behavioral issues. My approach is primarily person-centered, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. I believe you should remain in the driver's seat throughout the therapeutic process, while I serve as a supportive guide—offering support, insight, and evidence-based tools as we work together toward your goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and psychoeducation while tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs. I also value a holistic approach to healing, recognizing the powerful connection between the mind and body and the influence that physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, and daily habits have on overall wellness. My goal is to empower you to better understand yourself, develop practical coping skills, strengthen your confidence, and create sustainable change. I strive to provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you explore your experiences, overcome challenges, and move toward a life that aligns with your values and goals. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or pursuing personal growth, I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
