I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a master’s degree in mental health counseling with an emphasis in forensic counseling from Walden University. I founded With Open Arms to pursue my passion for helping people heal and thrive.

Years ago, I worked for a community organization that helped connect people with childcare resources. Even though it wasn’t part of my job at the time, I often found myself listening as the families I worked with confided in me about the difficulties they were facing. They were surprised how comfortable they felt opening up to me, and they appreciated the support I was able to offer. 

That’s when I decided to do more, dedicating myself to pursuing the training needed to help people of all ages live their best lives.
