Masters in Community Mental Health Counseling

 I became a counselor because I am passionate about helping people and communities thrive. I love connecting with clients, supporting colleagues, and creating spaces where we can share resources, solve problems, and make mental health care more accessible. For me, it’s all about building real connections that make a difference — one person, one community, one system at a time.

Masters in Social Work

I chose to become a social worker because, after experiencing my own trauma, it led me to discovering a deep passion for helping others. I want to help others realize that growth and healing can happen even through the darkest of times and that it's possible to change, adapt, and overcome the most challenging obstacles that life throws at us. I want to be the person that walks beside them through their journey and to help them become a healthier version of themselves.  

University of West Florida

Masters in Social Work

 I chose social work because I believe deeply in the power of healing, connection, and resilience. From an early age, I felt called to walk alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges. My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults,  couples, and families, helping them uncover their strengths and discover new ways to thrive. I often integrate play therapy, art therapy, and trauma-informed practices, and I am pursuing training in EMDR to further support individuals in processing and healing from difficult experiences.

I see each client as the expert of their own story. My role is to create a safe, compassionate space where people feel truly seen and heard, and to empower them to move toward growth, wholeness, and hope.

Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

I want to be a counselor because I believe everyone deserves the chance to grow, heal, and see the best version of themselves. Mistakes happen, but they don’t have to define us—we can learn, we can change, and we can build better lives. I’m passionate about working with people who often feel overlooked, or stigmatized including those with criminal histories, addictions, trauma, or suicidal thoughts and more. My goal is to spread kindness, empathy, and hope—to be a steady reminder that no one is beyond a second chance, and that with the right support, everyone has the ability to create a brighter future.

Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

  My personal motivation for becoming a counselor stemmed from a life long experience of helping others. I wanted to make a difference in the lives of those who were struggling and show them that they deserve to live their best life. After my family and I experienced a traumatic experience, it only solidified my desire to help others show them a way out of the darkness. I want clients to know that I will be there every step of the way as they strive to make the necessary changes to live a happier, healthier life in a safe and comforting environment.

Masters in Community Mental Health Counseling

  I became a counselor because I believe in the incredibly transformative experience of having the space to express your authentic self in a place that is meant just for you. After working with families and in crisis centers for nearly a decade, it became clear that counseling was the calling for me. I love to connect in a real way with my clients and make a difference where it counts, whether it is individually, in relationship, or with families- communities thrive when we are connected and cared for.
