I have experience working in Community-Based, Outpatient, and hospital mental health settings as a licensed professional counselor. I am currently a doctoral candidate at Eastern University pursuing a Doctor of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with the goal of obtaining a further degree. I have a passion for working with teens, adults, and older adults to assist them in developing and finding healthy coping skills when dealing with stressors, including life transitions. My areas of expertise and special interest include depression, anxiety, coping skills, interpersonal conflict, racial identity, and stress management.
I approach ecological, strengths-based, and client-centered perspectives that incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, family system, emotionally focused, and attachment to understand the patterns of behavior that interfere with reaching goals while creating safety for personal growth.
We’ll work together to establish a collaborative partnership to create a supportive and validating environment where you can feel empowered. I know it can be intimidating to talk about the stories but I’ll be there with a warm heart and an open mind. It is an honor to be part of your therapeutic journey to start obtaining your goals.
