About My Clients

Are you feeling overwhelmed by trauma, grief, or relationship struggles? I specialize in helping adults overcome emotional barriers. If you’re ready to invest in your well-being and embrace real change, I offer compassionate, personalized virtual therapy to support your journey toward healing and growth. Together, we’ll work toward managing life's challenges.

My Background and Approach

I’m dedicated to helping individuals grow emotionally by connecting mind and body in the healing process. My experience as a swim coach shaped my holistic view of mental health, where I saw firsthand how overcoming physical challenges leads to emotional strength. Now, as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at Dive Counseling and Wellness, LLC, I support clients through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches. I work with clients to uncover their strengths and find healthier ways to manage life’s challenges. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel understood and supported, allowing you to explore your emotions and develop skills for meaningful, sustainable growth. My approach centers on collaboration and genuine connection, guiding you toward personal growth at a pace that feels right for you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I embrace the idea that our individuality sets us apart in meaningful ways. If you’ve been reluctant to seek support due to worries about bias, societal pressures, or the fear of not finding an inclusive environment, know that you’ve found a space here. I am dedicated to honoring your identity, ensuring a welcoming and secure environment, and offering consistent support for ALL.
