In 2010 I started my journey as part of the mental health field by working as front desk support staff while attending graduate school. I worked my way up to case management before graduating and becoming a clinician. I left the world of mental health crisis services in 2022. I am currently working to build my private practice, Practical Counseling. I am listed as a therapist through SonderMind (sondermind.com), Alma and Headway. I believe in meeting people where they are at and walking beside them to guide and support them to make the changes they want to see in their lives.
