I have been with NCG since August 2006 and have a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Master's in Social Work, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I love meeting people and learning about their interests and perspectives. I believe everyone is motivated towards something, and it's our job to guide and support them in finding what that something is. Using pop culture to connect with others has been an effective way for me to build common ground, trust, and provides insight into another person's world. When I'm not at the office, I'm spending time with my family, reading comic books, watching movies and working on my Funko Pop collection (my collection is featured in the 2021 Guinness World Record Book for being the world's largest Funko Pop collection). 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia and a Licensed Mental Health Professional in the state of New York. I earned two Master’s degrees, one at the State University of New York with an emphasis on Mental Health Counseling Psychology and one at University of Marvdasht in General Psychology. I have worked in various levels of care and treatment settings, including as a Clinical Supervisor, Outpatient Therapist, and Home-Based Counselor for National Counseling Group since 2017. I have provided counseling for several years to children, adolescents, young adults, and adults and my experience covers Intensive In-Home (IIH & HBC), Therapeutic Day Treatment (TDT), Mental Health Skills Building (MHSS), crisis stabilization, outpatient therapy, and Parent Partnership Programs.

I have been fortunate enough to travel to many countries around the world. My travels have given me opportunities to get to know and experience different cultures and lives. As a result, I relate well to others, which has helped me to better understand and achieve the maximum potential for those I work with. I am committed to improving lives by allowing individuals, families, and professionals to achieve their goals and experience long-lasting and meaningful results.
