I am currently completing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. To fully dedicate myself to my academic requirements and my clinical internship, I do not offer private coaching or counseling services at this time. This space serves as a portfolio of my professional journey, therapeutic philosophy, and technical projects.
The Journey
Bridging the gap between learning and practice.
Master's Program
Currently deep into my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. It's an ongoing journey of unlearning and rebuilding my understanding of human connection, therapeutic techniques, and empathetic presence.
Practicum at Open Door Mission
Applying classroom theories in real-world scenarios. Working at an outreach facility has grounded my practice in reality, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit in the face of profound systemic and personal challenges.
Transition to Internship
Preparing to step into my upcoming clinical internship, where I will take on more complex cases, refine my therapeutic voice, and continue to merge evidence-based practice with a warm, client-centered approach.
The Workshop
Creative problem-solving through code. A demonstration of structured thinking outside the counseling room.
West Georgia Waste Wranglers
A retro-style 2D browser game. Dodge obstacles, collect power-ups, and keep the yard clean. An exercise in state management, collision detection, and creative fun. The idea was inspired by my cousin's recent start-up business. The family thoroughly enjoyed testing this game.
Local AI SOAP Note Generator
An experimental documentation assistant that translates shorthand scratch notes into structured SOAP formats. Powered entirely on-device by Gemma 4, it ensures no data ever leaves the computer.
Note: This tool is strictly for educational and testing purposes. It is a drafting aid only, and all outputs must be reviewed by a licensed clinician prior to charting.
Tempo Breathing
A lightweight web application designed to guide users through structured breathing techniques. By providing visual pacing cues, this tool helps downshift the nervous system, offering a simple, accessible method for immediate grounding and anxiety reduction. The application includes a private, local AI trained to help the user. This is only for educational and testing purposes.
The Philosophy
I believe that genuine growth happens in the presence of radical acceptance and safety. My approach to mental health is rooted in the idea that every individual possesses an inherent capacity for resilience and healing.
In the therapy room, I don't see myself as the "expert" who holds all the answers, but rather as a collaborative guide. We work together to unpack narratives, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build a toolkit that empowers you to navigate life's complexities.
Just as writing good code requires patience, debugging, and a willingness to understand the core of a problem, counseling requires us to slow down, look at the intricate systems of our lives, and approach ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment.
Future Practice Updates
