My journey to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor stems from a deep desire to empower others to find inner strength and self-validation. Having worked through my own personal trauma, I’ve gained valuable tools that allow me to show up authentically and compassionately for my clients seeking Mental Health Support. My goal is to advocate for others, provide a safe and supportive space through my Therapy Services, and remind each person I work with that you are not alone, you are loved, you are worthy, and you are enough. Outside of counseling, I enjoy binge-watching reality TV (where are my Love Island fans?), playing golf with my boyfriend, spending time with friends and their kids, and listening to anything and everything Taylor Swift.
