I am originally from California, but consider Arizona my true home. I have always had a deep and personal connection to the mental health field. Growing up with ADHD, anxiety, and experiencing trauma during my childhood, I saw firsthand how counseling can save your life. When I took my first AP psych class in high school, I just felt it click for me - this is what I want to do with my life. Soon after, I went on to earn my Bachelor’s degree from Grand Canyon University, and I am currently pursuing two Master’s degrees at Bradley University.

My experiences have shaped my character, furthering a commitment towards treating everyone with grace and kindness and recognizing the unseen struggles they may face. For me, counseling is not just a profession; it is a reflection of who I am and what I care most deeply about: helping others find healing while providing a safe and supportive space.
