I am a clinical intern pursuing my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marshall University under the supervision of Joy Guzzarde, LCPC. Prior to my clinical training, I worked in outdoor recreation, healthcare technology, and mental health settings. These experiences deepened my understanding of the pressures people face in both their personal and professional lives. They continue to shape my approach as a therapist, helping me meet clients with empathy, curiosity, and a holistic perspective on healing and growth.

I work with clients navigating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety, major depression, identity-related concerns, and major life changes. As someone within the LGBTQ+ community, I am especially passionate about supporting clients navigating the unique challenges and experiences that can arise within LGBTQ+ identities and communities.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, and ERP to help clients better understand thought and behavior patterns, reconnect with their values, reduce avoidance, and build distress and uncertainty tolerance. My style is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in authenticity while also honoring the role of creativity, spirituality, mindfulness, movement, and connection to nature in the therapeutic process.

I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore themselves more fully and move toward meaningful, lasting change. 

I look forward to walking alongside you throughout your journey.
