I have worked in the mental health field for 17 years, supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults dealing with challenges such as trauma, substance abuse, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have assisted my clients in developing coping strategies to manage everyday life stressors by setting SMART goals. I always meet my clients where they are in their healing process, using active listening skills while providing positive affirmations and support.

I help my clients set realistic goals by coaching and encouraging self-reflection on their presenting problems. I am very aware of different cultural backgrounds, which allows me to transition from one perspective to another while building a strong connection with my clients. Actively listening is essential in building empathy, and as a counselor, I recognize the signs of emotions in my clients and provide assurance that I am part of their support system.

I hold a Master's degree with a LAPC License in Clinical Counseling from Rosemont College, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to effectively guide my clients through their healing journeys.
