About Me

I have worked in the substance use, and mental health field for 5 years as a counselor but 8 years overall. I love this field due to the fact that mental health has been stigmatized for so long, that I can be an advocate for everyone to have a voice, and can help empower another person through their self discovery and journey again. If you are a client who is struggling with your darkness and self awareness, boundaries, codependency, addiction, dual diagnosis mental health issues, I am here to help you. I graduated from South University undergoing extensive training in my field and my approach is fitted to match each person's personality, communication style, and to continuously be empathetic to your needs. I love helping clients come out of their depression, anxiety and more and seeing their potential and find their purpose in this world.I love using approaches of DBT, CBT, Reality therapy, Motivational Interviewing and understanding the family systems. My goal is to help everyone become better versions of themselves and build self awareness, boundaries, communication skills, and overall self worth all while tackling this journey with them. I understand that through the teenage years a lot of us may feel misunderstood, trapped, and alone and I am here to listen and help you along the way. I look forward to being on this journey with you.
