Hello!

I have been practicing for 10 years in the counseling field, first getting my Masters in Counseling, Specializing in School Counseling where I worked with children and adolescents in both elementary and middle school settings. I transitioned to a clinical setting working again with adolescents but this time in a residential facility where I became a fostered Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) Therapist. My latest clinical work was in a university setting for over four years. As a new mom, my interest has expanded and I am beginning to work on Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C).

The concept of Mattering is central to my philosophy as a counselor. I strive to ensure that every client knows they matter to me and that their experiences, identities, and perspectives are valued. I genuinely enjoy meeting and working with a diverse population of clients, including individuals with a wide range of presenting concerns and identities. This commitment is reflected in my clinical work through my dedication to being a lifelong learner. I remain open to expanding my understanding, challenging my own perspectives, and embracing new ways of thinking that may differ from my own.

When you are ready, schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can get to know one another, discuss your goals, and determine whether working together feels like the right fit!

Wishing you well,

  • I have been a Certified TF-CBT therapist for 5 years and utilized this modality while working with adolescents and have incorporated components of this while working with adults. TF-CBT is an evidence-based therapy designed to help children, adolescents, and their caregivers recover from the effects of traumatic experiences. It is most commonly used with children and teens ages 3–18 who have experienced events such as abuse, neglect, violence, accidents, natural disasters, or the loss of a loved one.

    TF-CBT helps individuals understand how trauma affects their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships while teaching practical skills to manage distress and build resilience. The therapy is structured, goal-oriented, and typically lasts 12–25 sessions, though the length may vary based on individual needs.

    An important component when working with children and adolescents is having a few sessions with parents/caregivers.

  • I am in the process of becoming trained in Perinatal Mental Health Therapy through Postpartum Support International. I will begin the Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) Program in 2026.
