What you should know?

This is just the begining.

In my former life I was an experienced educator with a diverse background in both public and private schools. Throughout my career, I had the privilege of working with youth and adults from various socioeconomic statuses and backgrounds, which ignited a passion for counseling. This journey inspired me to pursue a dream of establishing a community center focused on kinesthetic counseling. Here, individuals will be able to engage in therapeutic practices through art, dance, music, woodworking, and group play therapy, fostering healing and connection within the community.

Experience

There is no present or furture without the past.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with children, adolescents, and families, and these experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of creativity, empathy, and connection in supporting growth. My transition into the counseling profession reflects my desire to walk alongside others in meaningful ways, help individuals feel understood, and create environments where people can express themselves without judgment. As I continue my training, I am committed to developing a counseling style rooted in authenticity, acceptance, and a genuine respect for each client’s lived experience.
