Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Working with me means you’ll have someone in your corner who is genuine, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation, not a clinical interview. I’ll show up as myself — approachable, supportive, and honest — and I’ll invite you to do the same.
I know it can feel vulnerable to open up, so I focus on building trust and making sure you feel understood before anything else. I’ll listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is collaborative — I don’t see myself as the “expert” telling you what to do, but as a partner helping you uncover your own strengths and find new ways forward.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to balance warmth with gentle challenge. That means I’ll validate your feelings and experiences, but I’ll also encourage you to explore new perspectives and try out strategies that support your growth. Humor, creativity, and real-life practicality often find their way into our sessions, too.
Most importantly, my goal is for you to feel safe, respected, and empowered — whether we’re working through difficult emotions, navigating relationships, or simply creating space for you to breathe and reflect.

Work HistoryOver the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people in many different stages of life and through a wide variety of challenges. My experience began in private practice, where I worked closely with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. This gave me a strong foundation in supporting people through difficult seasons and helped me see how important it is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood.
From there, I began working with adults, couples, and families, where I developed a passion for helping people improve their communication and strengthen their relationships. This experience deepened my ability to notice patterns, support growth, and guide clients toward healthier, more connected relationships.
I also bring experience in trauma work, grief, stress management, anxiety, and depression, which taught me how to gently balance validation of painful experiences with tools to move forward. Many of my clients have shared that they feel both supported and empowered after our work together.
Each of these roles shaped the way I practice today. They taught me the importance of compassion, flexibility, and tailoring therapy to each person’s unique story. My areas of expertise—whether it’s supporting individuals, couples, or families—come from years of learning alongside my clients and seeing firsthand what helps people feel stronger, more connected, and more at peace.
