With dual MAs—one in Counseling from St. Edward's University in Austin, TX and another in the field of Cognitive Psychology from Columbia

University in New York, NY— I bring a wealth of expertise and depth to my counseling practice. My journey began with a Behavioral Science BA from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL and work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I implemented  Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) protocols with children on the autism spectrum. I also spent nine transformative years as an educator, both in the U.S. and overseas, working with children and adults, including in special education. 

​

My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I use evidence-based techniques to create a customized treatment plan for each client. At my internships at Capital Area Counseling and As We Grow Counseling, I helped many individuals and families find their way towards a happier and healthier life.

​

In my free time, I am a passionate mental health advocate through my volunteer work with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Since 2019, I have facilitated mental health talks and workshops, served on a leadership board, and actively advocated for mental health consumers in the state legislature.

 

I realize therapy is a partnership, and I feel grateful to be chosen and trusted with the opportunity to use my skills and knowledge to help heal. I work with adults, children, couples, and families and believe that there is no one path to mental and relational health and well-being. Whether your challenges are PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, work struggles, or just feeling overwhelmed and lost, I will adapt to you and your needs to get you on the right track so that you feel empowered to confidently create a more meaningful future.
