Find Your Counselor

While therapy can feel intimidating or uncomfortable, it is my priority to create a safe environment where clients can feel authentically themselves. I approach the therapeutic process as walking alongside you as we work toward the areas you feel are most important to you. I value warmth, genuineness, empathy, learning, and our relationship as the most essential components of therapy. From my experiences working with adults, I have witnessed the capabilities of therapy and the unwavering resilience of humans. You deserve to live a life free of the weights you carry. If you are willing to have me by your side, I would be honored to support you.

I deeply respect the transformative power of therapy and see it as a space where compassion meets shared human experience. Each session is an opportunity to honor my clients' stories with care and support mutual growth. My approach is strengths-based, focused on helping clients reframe their narratives as survivors, not victims, while highlighting their resilience in the face of challenges. Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, collaborative space where we can explore self-discovery, growth, and healing together.

I earned my master's degree from Newman University and have experience supporting individuals through a variety of life struggles. I believe everyone carries their own story and unique strengths, and I'm passionate about helping people uncover their potential. My approach is eclectic and tailored to fit your needs, with a focus on building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation so you can feel more grounded and empowered in everyday life. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up just as you are.

You don't have to do it alone - let's work together to find the path forward. You're worth it.

Emotional pain can cast shadows on our lives that break our hearts. We become trapped in feelings of worthlessness, emptiness, and brokenness. We struggle with distorted beliefs that something is irreversibly wrong with us. It's hard to feel not only that we are missing something but also that we are not worthy enough to have that something. This can leave us aching with sorrow. There is good news: you have a true self that is completely whole and knows how to find peace. My mission is to accompany you in your shadows and unlock your inner power to heal. I’ll walk with you to the other side of your pain, where personal growth and healing occur. There is light and hope. I aim to help you step into the life you desire, become aware of how your thoughts shape your world, and guide you in shifting them to reflect the life you’ve always wanted to create. I believe that everyone has a vision for themselves and their lives that they wish to unlock. I want to help you find the key and show you how our lives are stories that we write, pen to paper, each day. I believe that you can transform every moment of your life to become exactly who you've always hoped to be. My experience has shown me that human beings comprise parts that yearn to connect in a healthy way. At times, these parts are in conflict with one another, blocking our path to success. I would like to help you achieve wholeness with all the beautiful parts of yourself. A key component of my approach as a counselor is to bring awareness to how we create our reality. I guide you in shifting maladaptive beliefs to create an empowering story in which you are fully engaged in your experience. I offer a safe space for you to express and understand yourself and heal. I have extensive knowledge of therapeutic tools that I tailor to each individual client to best fit their needs and goals. My main areas of specialization involve working with maladaptive coping skills and unhealthy perceptions of self, others, and the world. Much of my prior clinical experience has been with male offenders in correctional facilities, where I conducted both individual and group counseling. I worked with individuals who struggled with severe mental illness, interpersonal problems, anger management, thought distortions, maladaptive coping skills, and criminal behavior. I taught and guided individuals in using therapeutic tools and techniques to regulate emotions, manage relationship conflict, and ease symptoms of trauma. I am passionate about personal, professional, spiritual, and emotional growth. I believe that we all have the ability to consistently evolve and continue creating the best version of our lives every day. I am always striving to learn the newest and most effective therapeutic techniques to increase my knowledge and expertise, in order to help you as best as I can. I look forward to walking down your path with you and seeing all the places you'll go. It's time to become the hero of your story.

Maybe everything hurts, our hearts shadowed and strange. But only when everything hurts may everything change. - Amanda Gorman. Everyone's lived experiences are vastly different and finding a therapist who can honor and understand these differences is essential to success.

I believe everyone should have access to counseling and the opportunity to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With experience working with children, adults, individuals living with substance use, and those impacted by social injustice, I bring a person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach to every interaction. My lived experience deepens my empathy, while cultural humility keeps me grounded and open to continual learning. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and empowerment.

If you’re seeking change—whether it's breaking old patterns, managing overwhelming emotions, or creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling—you’re in the right place. I work with individuals motivated to grow and ready to move forward, even if they’re unsure where to start. My practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients understand and shift the patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping them stuck. In addition to CBT, I use an integrative approach that draws from various evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique needs. This allows us to address challenges not just cognitively, but also emotionally and holistically—supporting healing and growth on multiple levels. I meet each client where they are, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore what’s holding them back and what’s possible. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, develop tools for coping and healing, and uncover the direction and sense of purpose you’ve been searching for. My goal is to help you maximize your potential, gain insight, and move toward the wellness and wholeness you deserve.
