Get To Know Me
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
II see success in therapy as a series of meaningful shifts—feeling more connected to yourself, trusting your inner voice, softening self-criticism, experiencing greater ease in your body and relationships, and ultimately feeling more grounded, aligned, and at home in your own life.

Work HistoryI’m a therapist with experience supporting children, teens, and adults across higher levels of care and community-based settings, including my work at SunCloud Health, True Mind & Body, and SkyART. I help clients navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and challenges related to identity, relationships, and food. Alongside therapy, I teach cooking classes and work as a baker at Chia Leah, which shape my approach to integrating food, routine, and creativity into the healing process. My style is warm, practical, and collaborative, with a focus on helping you build tools that feel realistic and supportive in your everyday life.
