I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor Intern with a passion for helping youth, military families, and individuals in life transitions build resilience, emotional strength, and self-worth. Rooted in a mind-body-soul approach, I integrate performance psychology, trauma-informed care, CBT, and movement-based practices to support clients in overcoming anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges.

With a background in both military life and youth services, I’m deeply committed to serving populations navigating the transition from military to civilian life, as well as children and adolescents facing emotional and behavioral difficulties. I believe healing is possible when we activate both the body and mind — and that confidence, connection, and purpose are all learnable.

I bring over 15 years of experience in the mental health and human services field. I hold a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Norfolk State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from St. Paul’s College. I am currently pursuing a second Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at South University and completing my clinical internship with Breakthrough Glow Counseling Services under licensed supervision.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked as a case manager, crisis counselor, intensive in-home counselor, and mental health skill-builder. My experience spans working with both children and adults, particularly those experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and systemic challenges.

My clinical approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy through a trauma-informed lens. I am passionate about empowering individuals to build emotional resilience, strengthen their support systems, and thrive within their communities.

I have a special interest in serving underserved populations, individuals navigating life transitions, and those impacted by generational and systemic trauma. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped to achieve lasting change.
