Welcome to Diverse and Thriving Counseling

Hi, I’m a counselor dedicated to helping people navigate life's challenges. Having navigated the challenges of mental health myself, I am passionate about helping others discover resilience and growth on their own journeys. I believe with a nonjudgmental space, bravery from both parties, and a focus on our unique strengths, anyone has the capacity to prevail, grow, and thrive! I strive to create an environment where everyone feels seen and heard, recognizing the unique journeys each individual brings.​

 

I began my journey in the field by supporting children with Autism in residential and day program settings while in college, where I learned the importance of tailored interventions and the value of creating safe, supportive environments. As a Teaching Assistant at Cleveland State University, I facilitated process groups aimed at fostering self-awareness and personal growth among counseling students. This experience deepened my understanding of group dynamics and the transformative power of shared experiences. 

 

As a counselor, dedicated to promoting mental wellness and personal growth, I have cultivated a culturally responsive approach in providing mental health services. My experience spans various private practices where I've had the privilege of working with people from a range of backgrounds and experiences.
