Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I view relationships through an attachment theory lens, which means that I am really interested in unpacking the ways in which our relationships with our caregivers during childhood might impact our emotional patterns later in life. I believe that much of our emotional distress can be traced back to unmet attachment needs, wounds that can continue to cause us pain later in life if left untreated. I will work alongside you to heal these wounds by helping you to process the complicated feelings of the past and begin to build more secure, fulfilling relationships in the present.

Work HistoryI began my professional career as a middle school math teacher in a small, community-oriented K-12 school. While I enjoyed teaching middle school math content, I realized over time that I valued the relational aspects of teaching more than the educational side. I discovered that my favorite part of my job was serving as a trusted adult for students who often needed help navigating the chaos of middle school. At the end of the 2024 school year, I made the difficult decision to leave teaching in order to begin a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, a field that I felt would more closely align with my natural skills and passions.
