“Your mental health is a priority. Your happiness is an essential. Your self-care is a necessity.” – Melody Beattie
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (supervised by Nicole Ponce, LPC-S) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma, manage depression and anxiety, reduce stress, and navigate addiction and recovery.
I draw from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices, blending practical skill-building with compassionate exploration. I support clients in developing healthier coping strategies, strengthening emotional awareness, and finding meaningful ways to reconnect with themselves. I’m also working toward EMDR certification to expand the trauma-focused support I can offer.
My clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings, supporting challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship stress, and identity development. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and grounded in respect. My role is to meet you with warmth and genuine curiosity, help you understand the patterns that shape your life, and provide practical tools that move you toward healing. I view every client as the expert on their own experience, and I see our work as a partnership focused on helping you live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
