be kind to your mind
Are you kind to your mind? Or do you find yourself overcome by negative self-talk, self-sabotage, and feelings of guilt and shame?
Compassion is a basic human need that often goes unfulfilled. When we don’t get it from others, it’s no wonder we are our own toughest critic. We refer to ourselves in harsh terms we would likely not use with friends and family. We feel stuck, alone, hopeless. Reaching out for help is hard, but continuing the emotional suffering is even harder.

I completed my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at National Louis University in Chicago, Illinois and have worked with clients in a variety of settings including the Emergency Room, a Partial Hospitalization Program, and in community mental health. I have worked in a private practice setting since 2021 and created Kind Mind Counseling of Asheville, PLLC in 2022.
Prior to attending graduate school for counseling, I worked for a number of years as a high school teacher in the Chicago suburbs. My passion for teaching and learning persists as my experience working in the mental health field continues.
My clients have described me as approachable, compassionate, validating, & non-judgmental. My goal is to help you explore & process unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior while learning new healthy ways to regulate your emotions, communicate with others, & to stand firm in your decision-making.
Kind Mind Counseling began in Asheville, North Carolina in November 2022 and moved to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in September 2025 with my move to the area. Telehealth therapy services are currently available in the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. Telehealth and in-person therapy services are coming soon to the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area.
