I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and behavioral health provider with the Mindset team. I’m here to support adults as they navigate life’s challenges, uncover their strengths, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in anxiety management, and emotional regulation, with a focus on interpersonal and relational skills. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I meet you where you are—with respect, empathy, and a deep belief in your capacity to grow. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, working through life transitions, or struggling with substance use, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and help you build the tools you need to move forward. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and create a plan that feels right for you. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Healing and growth are possible—and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

How I stay healthy and happy
I have a deep passion for a diverse array of music, from the captivating melodies of musical theater and the soulful rhythms of jazz to the catchy beats of pop, the energy of rock, and the smooth grooves of R&B. I also love immersing myself in podcasts that explore psychology and politics, as they challenge my thinking and broaden my perspective. When I’m not indulging in music or podcasts, you can find me playing with my goldendoodle, traveling the globe to discover new cultures, writing to express my thoughts and experiences, and practicing meditation to find balance and mindfulness in my life.
