As a Provisionally Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I aspire to provide support, insight, and guidance that respects and values your ethnicity, culture, identity, and beliefs. I will listen carefully and help you process your feelings, experiences, and thoughts. We will collaborate and co-create a safe space to define your needs and steps to reach your goals. 

My experience includes working with marginalized groups, Veterans, healthcare practitioners, individuals with disabilities, and students of all ages. I’ve worked in various settings, from schools and community spaces to private practices.

I earned a Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University in NY and multiple certifications in trauma-informed therapeutic approaches.  Depending on the client, I utilize various types of therapy, such as DBT, Trauma-Informed CBT, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Creative Arts, and Sand Tray Therapy.
