I choose to love myself under all conditions.

That’s a personal truth I return to again and again—and it shapes how I show up in my work.
I believe that love creates space for growth, compassion builds safety, and therapy becomes most powerful when it honors your full humanity.

I support people who are ready to move beyond surviving—who want to explore the roots of anxiety, navigate major life transitions, and develop a more connected, compassionate relationship with themselves. Together, we create a space where you can bring your truth without apology.

My own journey in this work began with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the College of Charleston, where I first became curious about how we carry, hide, or transform our emotional experiences. I later earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Forensics from Walden University, which deepened my understanding of the systems that shape us and the inner strength people use to move forward, even in complex circumstances.

Experience That Grounds My Work

I’ve had the privilege of working in community mental health, the juvenile justice system, hospital-based crisis care, and primary care clinics. These experiences taught me how nuanced mental health truly is—and how deeply clients benefit from therapy that is not only evidence-based, but also grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and emotional safety.

In every role, one truth has remained: people want to feel seen, understood, and safe. That’s the foundation of the work I do through Centered Self Care.
