As a Provisional Professional Counselor (PPC), I have completed all required graduate coursework and continue to work under the supervision of licensed professionals while gaining the clinical experience needed for full licensure. This allows me to provide thoughtful, supported, and ethical care to clients. My role is not to label or criticize, but to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered, with the understanding that their voice matters and their experiences are honored.
I am here to allow vulnerability and support to offer consistent support throughout the client's therapeutic journey. I work collaboratively with clients to create trust, self-compassion, and resilience to ensure the client feels encouraged through this experience.
I am deeply passionate about supporting people as they grow in spaces where they feel safe, respected, and empowered to explore who they are. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel genuinely seen and heard, without fear of judgment. I encourage you to reach out today for a free 30 minute consultation to get a feel for me and if I am a good fit
