Licensed Professional Counselor – In Training

I am passionate about helping people feel seen, understood, and supported—especially those who may feel that the world has given up on them. My approach to counseling is grounded in genuine care, collaboration, and the belief that every person has strengths and possibilities that can be developed, even during difficult seasons of life.

My experience in the mental health field began as a Registered Behavioral Technician, where I spent two years supporting children with autism and Down syndrome through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I then spent more than three years as a Youth Support Specialist, mentoring adolescents and adults and providing hands-on support as they navigated behavioral, emotional, and life challenges. These experiences shaped my belief that mental health support is not limited to talking—it can also involve learning, practicing, connecting, building skills, and experiencing success in everyday life.

As a counselor, I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, behavioral and emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I use an integrative approach drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic therapy, play-based and strengths-based interventions. I am particularly interested in trauma-informed care, attachment, emotional regulation, family relationships, and helping individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their patterns.

I believe that our environment, experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns can all influence how we think, feel, and respond to the world. Counseling provides an opportunity to slow down, become curious about those patterns, and develop new ways of responding. My role is not to tell someone how to live their life, but to walk alongside them as they discover what matters to them and determine what steps will move them forward.

Life can easily distract us or pull us away from what we value. When we pause, reflect, and realign with those values, they can become a compass—guiding us toward greater meaning, balance, growth, and hope. My goal is to help each person recognize their strengths, gain clarity, develop practical skills, and move toward a life that feels more purposeful and connected.

I believe meaningful change happens through both understanding and doing—creating space to process what has happened while also building the skills, confidence, and experiences needed to move forward.
