Licensed in Colorado, New York, and Pennsylvania with over 18 years of professional counseling experience, she holds the Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) credential and specializes in college counseling, gender affirming care, fostering belonging, and suicide intervention.

Her professional focus centers on creating inclusive therapeutic environments for diverse student populations, with emphasis on gender-affirming clinical practices, suicide prevention frameworks, and cultural humility development. Through her work with the Culture Collective, she actively cultivates advocacy skills and nonjudgmental dialogue spaces to advance equity in counseling education.

Both programs directly support her mission of building resilient counseling professionals through community-based learning.
