Mental Health Therapist

In person or Telehealth sessions

I joined LTJ in August 2025 and currently serve as a Clinical Trainee. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Community Psychology and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counselor Education, and I am pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). I am working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

​

I am passionate about working with children and adolescents, and I believe everyone can benefit from a nonjudgmental space to process feelings and build skills. Advocacy is a core part of my work, and I strive to provide a calm, warm, and welcoming environment for clients and families. I most often draw from rational emotive, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and cognitive behavioral approaches, while always maintaining a person-centered focus. I believe strongly in meeting clients where they are.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and caring for my two dogs and two cats. I love reading and coloring, attending concerts and meat raffles, spending time in nature, and watching a good reality TV show.
