I have over a decade of experience advocating for and supporting children as a certified school counselor. I have a bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in Psychology, and a Master’s degree in School Counseling Psychology. In addition, as a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), I believe meaningful change happens in a warm, supportive, and empathetic environment where young people feel safe, understood, and free to be themselves. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supporting children in expressing emotions, building coping skills, and growing in confidence while developing greater self-awareness and understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I bring enthusiasm, humor, and a genuine commitment to working on practical solutions to help your child become the best version of themselves. I value collaboration with families and schools to ensure each child feels supported across all areas of their life.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, baking, being in nature, dancing, attending concerts, and playing fetch with my dog, Phoebe—who is also a certified therapy dog!
