Bio

I'm passionate about creating holistic healing spaces that are intentional and inclusive to all. I am currently in my final year of my master's in clinical mental health counseling, while also completing a psychotherapy internship and working in the career services office at my university. I'm passionate about holistic/integrative interventions in counseling, seeking to integrate evidence-based theories into modern healing approaches. My personal counseling style is influenced by elements of CBT, DBT, ACT, PCT, and other mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approaches. I'm committed to providing nonjudgmental, supportive, and empathetic mental health care. As an emerging professional in the mental health field, I hope to inspire holistic wellness through nurturing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, yoga, nature walks, journaling, drawing/painting, meditation, music, traveling, and movies. I'm looking forward to making a meaningful difference in the field through championing humanistic and ethical care.
