Before I ever embarked on my journey to become a counselor, I was already heavily invested in working with underpriviledged populations, along with youth and their families. I have over 10 years of experience working in social service and community programs. My work has taken me across a wide array of environments from private practice, community mental health, school-based and afterschool care, to general non-profit organizations. I believe in helping people come together and learn to live authentically from a place of self-compassion and self-worth. It has been an honor to take part in others' growth and actualization.
