I believe that a happy life starts with a healthy mind. The better we feel about ourselves and the world around us, the greater our ability to take on life’s challenges. This mindset is at the core of positive relationships. As a counselor, I focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients to support change and mental wellbeing. 

I am committed to providing counseling services that are nonjudgmental and that promote diversity and equality. I take pride in serving members of the LGBTQIA+ community. My mission is to help clients generate awareness, practice acceptance, and empower personal choice.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Masters Student at UNC Charlotte. I am also a Mental Health Counseling Intern at Living Life Wellness Center. I enjoy counseling because it provides an opportunity to serve others in a field that I am passionate about.
