ABOUT ME

Starting at a young age, I knew I wanted to help others. Over time, I noticed that friends, family, and peers felt comfortable opening up to me. This, along with my own mental health journey, has inspired me to become a therapist.

 

Being a therapist gives me a sense of purpose and a meaningful way to connect with people from all walks of life. When I'm not seeing clients, I enjoy taking on challenges in the kitchen, spending time with family & friends, and losing track of time with a good book or tv show.

​

MY APPROACH

My approach to therapy is collaborative and culturally sensitive. I adapt based on how each client shows up and what they need in the moment. I am someone who asks questions rather than making assumptions. My role is to support and guide clients as they reflect, grow, and heal. I want my clients to have a positive therapy experience, whether they are just starting their journey or have been to therapy in the past.

​

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

My background includes working at a mental health treatment center, schools, in community-based settings, and in private practice. I bring this knowledge, ongoing training, and my lived experience into my work. They have shaped how I show up with clients — with authenticity, care, and consistency.
