I'm a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping professionals navigate leadership pressures, career transitions, identity development, and emotional well-being. My background spans workforce development, talent strategy, and mental health practice. I've led statewide initiatives and built programs to strengthen mental health and professional readiness.
