My path into this work has been shaped by a deep commitment to learning and service. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology as a McNair Scholar, completed dual master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling, and later a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, along with graduate certificates in Grief, Loss and Trauma and in Evaluation, Statistics, and Measurement. I am licensed in multiple states, board‑certified as an Approved Clinical Supervisor and Telemental Health Provider, and trained in suicide prevention, crisis intervention, and de‑escalation. I’ve been honored with recognition, including the Outstanding Practitioner Supervisor Award from Chi Sigma Iota, and I remain an active member of ACA and ACES.
Today, my work includes providing clinical counseling, offering wellness consultation in areas such as psychoeducation, life skills, stress management, and college and career planning, supervising emerging counselors, and teaching full‑time at a CACREP‑accredited university. In my online private practice, I bring a punk‑rock counseling ethos to the work—rejecting hierarchy, centering client autonomy, and treating the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative act of resistance against systems that silence or constrain. I integrate acceptance and mindfulness with feminist and relational‑cultural principles, supporting clients as they reclaim their voice, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and build lives that feel grounded, meaningful, and unapologetically their own.
