Although I don’t have a PhD in the counseling field, I do have a non- Counseling related PhD from in Business Analytics and Decision Sciences that shows I can assist in life and academic stressors. I am also currently working on an additional PsyD in Clinical Psychology and will graduate in 2027 with my PsyD.

I enjoy working with ages from 8 years old and up that include Child & Adolescent Development, Veterans, Couples, and the elderly. I will collaborate with you, as well as utilize evidence base approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, some EMDR skills , and play therapy. I aim to support you in gaining insights, strategies and patterns that bring a client grounding, stability, happiness, new beginnings, and peace.
