I am an addiction counselor dedicated to guiding individuals through the challenging journey of recovery. I am pursuing a master’s degree in social work with a concentration in mental health and trauma at the University of Fordham. My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in finance with a minor in psychology from The College of New Jersey, which I obtained in 2019.
My professional journey in addiction counseling began at Eva’s Village in Paterson, New Jersey. There, I worked in an intensive outpatient facility, providing psychoeducation and therapy to individuals from diverse social and ethnic backgrounds who were grappling with substance use disorders and trauma. This experience deepened my understanding of the complex nature of addiction and the unique challenges faced by each person on their path to recovery.
In addition to my academic and professional pursuits, I have a strong background in athletics. I played college tennis at The College of New Jersey, achieving a national ranking of 28. I also hold a career-high ranking of 20 in the country in Platform Tennis. These experiences have taught me the values of discipline, resilience, and teamwork, which I bring into my counseling practice.
My passion for helping those in need stems from a personal tragedy—I lost my older brother to addiction. This profound loss ignited my commitment to this field and drove me to provide compassionate, patient, and supportive care to my clients. I believe in the power of therapy to uncover inner strength and foster meaningful change.
At South Platte Counseling, I am devoted to offering a warm, empathetic, and skilled approach to counseling. My goal is to help individuals overcome their struggles and lead fulfilling lives free from the grip of addiction. Together, we can navigate the path to healing and growth.
