I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a strong commitment to helping individuals thrive. My educational journey includes a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and a Master’s in Counseling & Psychology. I specialize in areas such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and multicultural counseling. With years of experience in both academic settings and hands-on therapy roles, I combine teaching, research, and practical therapy techniques to foster emotional resilience and mental well-being.
In my teachings, I focus on mindfulness practices and body-centered therapies like trauma-sensitive yoga. I’ve also conducted extensive research on burnout prevention and emotional resilience, especially within underserved communities. My approach to counseling emphasizes self-compassion, ensuring that each person feels valued and understood.
I proudly hold certifications as a National Certified Counselor and qualified Supervisor in Mental Health Counseling. Outside my practice, I’m actively involved in community service, volunteering to make mental health support more accessible. My professional journey reflects a deep passion for helping others overcome challenges and enhancing their mental health journey with effective, compassionate care.
