Introduction

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health counselor with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals of all ages on their journeys to improved mental health and well-being. My extensive background spans diverse settings, including children’s systems of care, social services, adolescent detox and rehabilitation programs, residential and partial care services, crisis emergency screening, jail, community, and outpatient programs as well as specialized outpatient programs. With specialized training in trauma-informed care, depression, anxiety, life stress, and culturally responsive practices, I strive to ensure that each client receives personalized and empathetic support. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive space with my clients. I take an empathetic, strengths-based approach to foster healing and resilience. With a keen understanding of the intersection between mental health and cultural diversity, I integrate cultural awareness into my therapeutic practices, empowering clients to feel seen, valued, and understood.
