About Me
I am a Mental Health Intern at Ash & Birch Counseling. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work at Walden University with the goal of becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a Certified Substance Use Disorder Professional.
​
I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating addiction and substance use, trauma, body image concerns, disordered eating, anxiety disorders, OCD, and co‑occurring mental health challenges. I’m also deeply interested in compassion fatigue and the process of building recovery resilience.
​
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Motivational Interviewing, DBT, and SFBT. I value a strengths‑based, person‑centered framework that emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and building on each client’s existing skills and resources.
My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, capable, and actively involved in their own healing.
