Starts With You

About Me

When I was 14, I started researching colleges because I knew one thing for sure: I wanted to be a music therapist and a counselor. Helping people wasn’t just an interest; it was my dream. That dream took me to Loyola University New Orleans, where I earned my first degree in music therapy and proudly began my career.

But I wasn’t done learning. At Temple University, I earned a Master of Music Therapy and stepped fully into the world of mental health, gaining experience in both inpatient and day treatment settings. A few years later, my path turned toward schools. In 2007, I completed a Master’s in School Counseling at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where I was able to combine my mental health background and address the unique needs of a school community. And because I’ve always been passionate about growing as a helper, in 2014, I completed my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision at Argosy University Atlanta.

My path hasn’t been a straight line—it’s had plenty of twists, turns, and surprises. But those experiences have shaped me into the counselor I am today, living the dream I set my heart on so long ago.

Now I’d love to turn the focus to you: What’s your dream, and how can I help you move toward it?
