I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA), Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP), and hold a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. My clinical experience includes serving as a Lead Counselor within a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and as a Program Director for an inpatient treatment center, where I developed a passion for providing compassionate, high-quality care while supporting clinical excellence.

My counseling approach is solution-focused and informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), blending practical strategies with a deep respect for each person’s unique experiences. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who have experienced significant trauma and appreciate a direct, honest, and collaborative therapeutic style. I believe healing happens through authenticity, curiosity, and meaningful connection.

My favorite quote, “No mud, no lotus,” reminds us that growth and resilience often emerge from life’s most difficult experiences, and that healing is possible even after profound adversity.
