About Me.

I grew up in Eastern Kentucky, and those roots continue to shape how I connect with others and understand the importance of community, resilience, and the experiences that influence our lives. Over time, I sought training and experiences that broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of people from many different backgrounds and identities, including extensive immersion in Spanish language and bilingual settings.

My Approach

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up authentically as yourself. I believe therapy works best when people feel comfortable enough to show up honestly and collaboratively. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and curiosity while also helping clients build insight and create meaningful change.

Therapy is not about becoming a different person—it is about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthening your ability to navigate challenges, and moving toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.

Training & Experience

My doctoral training emphasized bilingual services, behavioral health, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I later completed a trauma-focused postdoctoral residency with Veterans Affairs, where I had the privilege of serving veterans with a wide range of experiences and mental health concerns.
