With more than six years of experience, I believe therapy is a collaborative process centered on your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Together, we’ll create an approach that feels right for you and supports meaningful, lasting growth. My passion for counseling comes from a respect for the resilience people carry through each season of life. I strive to create a safe and calm environment for clients to nourish that resilience, receive support, and achieve their goals. If you allow me the honor of joining you on your healing journey, you can expect safe conversations and interventions that encourage vulnerability and exploration at your own pace. Sessions with me are a place to be honest, curious, and hopeful about the change you can create and the progress we can harness, together.

My counseling style is grounded in authenticity and collaboration. I work with clients to explore and understand their past experiences, build on their strengths, and help them develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. I often lean on my trauma-informed background and training to assist clients in navigating obstacles that line the path toward their goals. I aim to provide compassionate support that builds empowerment and is tailored to each client. I enjoy working with individuals between the ages of 20-45 experiencing impacts from abuse, trauma (PTSD, C-PTSD), obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors (OCD), interpersonal relationship issues, and family dynamic issues. I also work with clients of any age who have symptomologies related to anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.

You can expect a nonjudgemental environment where your experiences are respected and your voice matters. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
