Life can become overwhelming in ways we never expect. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, relationship challenges, trauma, or a major life transition, it can feel like you’re carrying more than anyone else realizes. Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong, and other times you simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, understood, and accepted. My counseling approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centered, and I recognize that you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to tell you who to be, but to walk alongside you as we explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and build practical tools to support meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, substance use concerns, anger, self-esteem challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I also enjoy helping individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about the next chapter of their lives. I integrate person-centered therapy with evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based interventions, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.
Before entering the counseling profession, I worked in emergency medical services, behavioral health, and Substance Abuse. These experiences deepened my appreciation for resilience, compassion, and the importance of meeting people where they are. Those experiences continue to shape my work today, helping me stay calm, empathetic, and grounded while supporting individuals through life’s most difficult moments.
I am currently completing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Keiser University and hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. My passion for counseling comes from a genuine desire to help others rediscover hope, build resilience, and recognize that healing is possible. I strive to create an environment where clients feel empowered to explore their stories without fear of judgment while building the confidence and skills needed to move toward the life they want.
Reaching out for help is one of the most courageous decisions you can make. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional pain, working toward recovery, or simply hoping to understand yourself better, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting well-being.
