I am a graduate student at Walden University, currently interning under the supervision of Erica Cleveland. As a Navy veteran, I bring a unique perspective to my work and a deep understanding of the challenges many individuals face. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting while raising my children as a stay-at-home mom, I made a significant career change to pursue my passion for mental health. My commitment to supporting others in their personal healing and growth fueled this decision.

Before beginning my internship at Mindful Transformations, I facilitated group therapy for veterans dealing with PTSD and addiction, an experience that provided me with valuable insights into the distinct challenges faced by these individuals. Throughout my internship, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse clients, addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and relationship issues.

My therapeutic approach combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), though I tailor my methods to meet each client’s unique needs. I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can feel empowered, achieve meaningful growth, and discover a positive direction in their lives.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and two daughters, exploring nature, and reading. I look forward to working with you, supporting you in reaching your mental health goals, and enhancing your well-being.
