Education
Walden University, Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Mental Health, 2015 — I earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, which provided advanced training in psychology, human development, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. My studies focused on counseling theories, mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning, as well as specialized areas such as trauma, ethics, and multicultural counseling. Through extensive supervised clinical experience, I developed practical skills in working with individuals, couples, and groups. This rigorous education and hands-on training prepared me to become a licensed therapist, equipping me with the expertise to help clients navigate life’s challenges, improve their mental well-being, and foster personal growth.
Work HistoryOver the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, helping them navigate challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. My experience has been shaped by working with children, teens, and adults in various settings, including schools, foster care programs, community organizations, and outpatient mental health. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, family struggles, and major life transitions. I’ve spent years guiding individuals through some of life’s toughest moments—whether it was a young person struggling with self-esteem, a family working through conflict, or an adult trying to rebuild after a major setback. My background has allowed me to specialize in providing support during times of change, helping people develop coping skills, strengthen their relationships, and find clarity in difficult situations. Through my work, I’ve learned that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I tailor my approach to each person’s unique needs, using practical tools, encouragement, and strategies that promote growth and resilience. My goal has always been to create a space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward in their lives with confidence.
