Licensed Associate Professional Counselor

I am grateful you are taking the time to read my bio. Therapy can be quite intimidating and scary, but if you’re reading this, something in you is ready for more – more clarity, more peace, more strength etc. That’s exactly where real life-changing growth begins.

I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor with over 15 years of leadership experience in both mental health and education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, two Master’s degrees in School Counseling and Social Emotional Learning, and a Doctorate degree in Educational Leadership. I seek to provide a safe, comfortable, and confidential space for individuals to process their unique life experiences, completely judgement free. I aim for every client to know and feel that their therapy sessions are completely customized to their exclusive needs, where I assist, support, encourage, challenge, and ultimately help clients to be the very best version of themselves. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and discover tools to help you move forward—whether that means healing, growing, letting go, or starting over.

I take a person-centered learning approach in session that is solutions-focused, and operates on the premise that physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being are interrelated. I work with adults and children, specializing in areas such as but not limited to emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, life transitions, divorce, marriage and family difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career counseling, women’s issues, school issues, youth mental health, perfectionism, and parenting strategies. I incorporate faith and spirituality for clients who desire it.

Please don’t wait any longer. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can be empowering. Take the step today and let me know how I can help you. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here—and I’m ready when you are.
