Personal Philosophies
& Inspiration

From an early age, I’ve been deeply curious about the human experience—why we feel what we feel, and how we can hold seemingly conflicting truths about ourselves, the world, and reality at the same time.

Through witnessing struggle in my own family and within myself, I’ve continued to shape a personal philosophy grounded in compassion, growth, and the pursuit of a peaceful, meaningful life. I don’t have all the answers—no one does—but I do know that my passion lies in walking alongside others as they cultivate self-awareness, navigate change, and move toward greater inner peace.

Background & Experience

Academic Background

I was born in Philadelphia, PA, and my educational path has been shaped by a deep curiosity about people and how we make sense of the world. I began my studies in Fine Arts, later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, and ultimately completed a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling. This varied background reflects my belief that understanding the human experience involves both logic and emotion, creativity and insight. I earned my Master’s degree in 2022 from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology.

Professional Experience

For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and operating a private practice, where I primarily work with neurodivergent adults and individuals navigating complex or developmental trauma, as well as mood and personality-related challenges. Before opening my practice, I worked as a Community Living Support therapist with children transitioning home after inpatient hospitalization, and I also provided accessible therapy to individuals, couples, and families through a nonprofit organization in Austin.
