M.A., PLPC

No matter a person’s situation, everyone faces challenges and struggles along with opportunities for striving and happiness. Though this struggle is universal to life, these experiences are unique for each person. While providing counseling services, I am here to listen to every aspect of your situation and understand who you are, no matter the reason you come in, and often to help you understand more about yourself. Through this understanding, I aim to help you examine your opportunities and struggles from a lens constructed by your own beliefs and values in life. I am here to support you in finding your own answers for the world and planning to live the way you wish to. I am excited to meet anyone who feels they could benefit from this kind of exploration.

 

I have a varied background in Psychology and Philosophy which I bring into counseling. I have worked for over two years as a Registered Behavior Technician providing Applied Behavioral Analysis support and assisted living services to people with developmental needs and I have been working as a counseling therapy provider here with Diversified Health and Wellness for over a year now. This experience has helped me to learn that every person has their own strengths, cultures, interests, and values that they bring with them day by day, and I find little to be more exciting than exploring these qualities and helping people apply these to life in the ways they wish to. I happily say this about each person, no matter their age, gender, race, or any other quality by which a person understands their identity.

 

As an undergraduate, I received a Bachelor of Science double major in Psychology and Philosophy, and completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with Webster University. I am now providing counseling services with the exceptionally supportive staff and counselors at Diversified Health and Wellness Center and continuing my education as a provider with their help and independent study. I am grateful for my current opportunity to work with such a wonderful team, and to help people in whatever journeys they wish to bring in to discuss.
