I am passionate about helping others attain their emotional wellness using a person-centered approach, while also incorporating solution-focused, cognitive behavioral and narrative therapy techniques to give the client various options with which to learn from. I am empathic, compassionate, and have a candid personality, and I aim to help my client see that they are in control of their life. My motto is, “I am along for the journey to help my client maximize their potential, through self-understanding, patience, and self-love. Whatever the unknown is, we can tackle it together.”
I have over a decade of experience working in the substance abuse field with military service members, as well as helping adolescent and young adult clients who may need help maneuvering through life’s obstacles and adversities. I have vast knowledge in group and individual therapy processes and also have the capacity and knowledge to help those who are neurodivergent, of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I pride myself on being able to work with persons of multicultural backgrounds.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking/cooking, watching HGTV and forensic files, and am an avid proponent of practicing what I preach: self-care. My journey in the counseling field stemmed from my curiosity of wanting to help others and be an advocate for those who have trouble speaking up for themselves.
