she/her/hers
I have always been fascinated by behavioral science and neurology. Understanding why individuals behave or think in specific ways helps to acquire self-awareness and alter behavior. Beyond that, communication is at the heart of every relationship. This intrigue led to my completion of a degree in communications and psychology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. I am continually expanding my knowledge of modern trauma interventions and neuropsychotherapy.
Before my clinical studies, I gained valuable experience in child advocacy, substance abuse, and assisting cancer patients in navigating their medical journeys. I am also honored to help US veterans transitioning to civilian life with various traumas. I have over twenty years of experience as a self-employed business owner and former corporate employee. My background provides a diverse perspective as I support individuals with career changes and general life transitions.
My philosophy centers on promoting whole health by seamlessly integrating physiological health with psychological wellness. I am grounded in a holistic, person-centered, evidence-based approach with the goal of empowering others. I have a lifelong passion for learning and exploring the connections between the mind, body, and spirit. Having faced some challenging situations in my own life, I discovered the benefits of yoga, meditation, mindful breathing, and conscious mind-body awareness techniques. Learning and applying these ancient healing practices in my daily life brings me immense happiness.
When not in sessions, I enjoy taking nature walks and training my Golden Retriever, who is currently “in training” to become a nationally certified therapy dog.
