About Me
I’m a trauma survivor myself, so I get it—both
personally and professionally. That combination lets
me bring real empathy and understanding to the
work, not just textbook professionalism. I also know
that sometimes dark humor is part of healing, and I
encourage it when it fits—it’s all part of navigating
this process together.
I’m someone who values authenticity, honesty, and
directness. I believe in facing life head-on, taking
responsibility without shame, and helping others do the
same. I’m deeply empathetic, but I don’t sugarcoat the
hard truths—growth requires clarity and courage. I care
about people showing up for themselves, and I meet
them where they are while challenging them to step into their worth. I’m warm and compassionate, but also
unapologetically real, and I live by the belief that self-
respect, accountability, and personal growth aren’t
optional—they’re necessary.
Education & Experience
I continue extensive trauma trainings to ensure I am up to date on the information needed to best help you, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and take a somatic approach. I graduated from Grand Canyon University in 2018 and started my licensing journey in 2020. I am now licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and South Carolina.
Professional & Volunteer Affiliations
I run a monthly virtual group for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents for free to allow you to focus on healing from childhood emotional neglect, strengthening self-worth, and developing healthy
boundaries and coping skills. You can go to my website to join in!
