“My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep desire and inquiring mind to better
understand the ‘why’ to what we do and the ‘how’ towhat makes relationships work in order
to empowered others in their pursuit of the same. After earning my degree in Counseling
(w/ emphasis in Couples & Families), I have worked in community mental health clinics
and private practice. Each experience has helped me to strengthen my skills and deepen
my commitment to providing culturally aware, trauma-informed, and unwavering support.
These roles taught me the importance of compassionate understanding, effective tools for
growth and perseverance, and evidence-based methods backed by science and results, all
of which I bring to therapy today.”
“I believe that openness to others’ perspectives and ongoing learning are essential to
providing results-driven and long-lasting care. To stay current, I regularly attend trainings on
evidence-based practices, pursue advanced certifications (i.e. gaming disorder, gambling
problems, and trauma-focused methods), and engage in peer discussion and collaborative
learning. I’m particularly passionate about expanding my expertise in military related
trauma with innovative and evidence-informed methods. My commitment to your growth
allows me to bring all my skills, new strategies, and fresh insights to each session, ensuring
I meet your needs."
