What drew me to the counseling field is a desire to work with people and offer hope to those who are hurting. Through my own mental health journey, I understand that counseling can offer a safe place to explore and process heavy experiences and big emotions. Since counseling has been instrumental in my own healing process, I have a desire to walk alongside others as they work through struggles. My professional experience has all centered around relationship building and counseling allows me to use those skills to dive deeper into the healing process and rewarding inner work. There is so much happening in the world and I want to use my experience and skills to offer support.
