I am an LPC-A, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Arlette J. Back, LPC-S, with 5 years experience in educational settings. I gained experience during my practicum and internship working with children in school settings, as well as adults facing challenges related to substance use disorders, PTSD, and grief. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults, supporting clients through challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personal growth. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach, that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. My primary areas of focus include ADHD and anxiety, supporting individuals in managing symptoms, improving emotional regulation, and building effective coping strategies for daily challenges. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and reaching out is a courageous first step. You deserve a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I'm here to walk alongside you—at your pace—as you work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
