I am a graduate counseling intern currently pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered in their healing journey. With a background in education, I bring a compassionate and strengths-based approach to my work and strive to meet each client where they are. I am particularly interested in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and identity development. I approach counseling from a culturally responsive perspective, integrating evidence-based practices while honoring each client’s unique experiences and personal story, and I am committed to building therapeutic relationships rooted in empathy, trust, and collaboration.
