As a Pre-Licensed Mental Health Professional and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I walk beside people through all stages of substance use and recovery—including the messy parts that are hard to say out loud. At the ARCS Institute, I provide trauma-informed, person-centered therapy rooted in deep trust, unconditional support, and a strong therapeutic alliance. Whether you're exploring identity, healing from trauma, or building self-love, I offer a space where your truth is safe. I pride myself on consistency and role-model the same skills I recommend. I lead with lived experience, grit, and an unwavering belief in my clients.

I’m a committed counselor with extensive experience supporting diverse communities impacted by substance use. Grounded in a trauma-informed, person-centered approach, I believe you’re the expert in your own story. I’m here to guide, challenge, and cheer you on—and we’ll laugh too, because why not? Healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.

In our work together, my primary goal is to make sure you feel truly seen, heard, and cared for. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, honoring your lived experience and what healing looks like for you. Clients often describe me as both straightforward and compassionate—someone who listens deeply, speaks truth with love, and helps you heal and elevate.
