Introduction

Hi, I’m a Resident in Counseling and single mom of two, living and working in VA. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, and I strive to create a supportive, empathetic space where trust and cultural humility guide the healing process. With a background as a former art teacher and professional artist, I’m passionate about the therapeutic power of creativity and hope to integrate art therapy into my practice. I approach counseling holistically, honoring the emotional, mental, and spiritual needs of each individual, and I’m always open to including faith-based support when that aligns with a client’s values. When I’m not counseling or parenting, I enjoy painting, caring for my plants, and finding beauty in the everyday moments.
