Education
Stephens College, Master of Education, Counseling, 2013 — Earned a Master of Education in Counseling with clinical training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Coursework emphasized counseling theories, assessment and intervention strategies, multicultural competence, and ethical practice. This graduate education prepared me to provide comprehensive counseling services to individuals, couples, and family's with divers backgounds.
University of Missouri, Bachelor of Arts, Psychology and Sociology, 2010 — Completed undergraduate studies in Psychology and Sociology, earning a Multicultural Certificate as part of my academic training. Coursework emphasized human behavior, development, cultural awareness, and social systems, with a strong focus on understanding how identity, culture, and environment shape individual experiences. This foundation supports a culturally responsive, inclusive, and client-centered approach to counseling.
Work HistoryMy clinical work has focused on supporting individuals and families across a wide range of life stages, with a particular emphasis on ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. Over the course of my career, I have worked in outpatient and community-based settings, where I gained experience providing counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families with diverse needs and backgrounds.
Through this work, I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, skills-focused therapy and learned how to adapt treatment to each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and environment. I have extensive experience helping clients navigate ADHD and executive functioning challenges, emotional regulation, stress, relationship concerns, and the impact of trauma. My approach is practical, collaborative, and compassionate, with an emphasis on helping clients better understand themselves and build tools they can use in everyday life.
I am also the owner of Brave Counseling & Wellness, where I provide counseling services and help shape a practice culture that values thoughtful, individualized care. In addition to direct clinical work, I collaborate with other providers, support clients through both in-person and telehealth services, and work with individuals who benefit from a flexible, ADHD-informed approach to therapy.
