Biography
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with experience providing individual, couples, family, and crisis counseling. I have worked in private practice, crisis intervention, clinical supervision, and community mental health. I am the Founder and Clinical Director of The Therapy Niche LLC, a virtual practice offering trauma-informed, affirming care. I am trained in EMDR and currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden University.
I create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and feel heard. I believe you are the expert on your own experiences, so I value collaboration, authenticity, open communication, and respect. My trauma-informed approach considers your experiences, relationships, and patterns while balancing compassion with gentle challenges that encourage meaningful change.
I begin by learning about your history, concerns, strengths, relationships, treatment experiences, and goals. Together, we identify priorities and create an individualized plan. I tailor interventions to your needs, preferences, readiness, and goals, regularly checking in and adjusting treatment as needed. I also help you build practical coping skills while exploring underlying patterns and beliefs.
