Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Working with me means having a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your lived experience. I believe you are the expert on your life, and my role is to help you understand patterns, build insight, and develop tools that feel realistic and sustainable for you. Our work will be collaborative, paced to your comfort level, and grounded in safety and trust.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
Humor is a natural part of how I connect with clients. I believe laughter can soften hard moments, reduce shame, and make difficult conversations feel more approachable. While I take your experiences seriously, I don’t believe therapy has to feel heavy all the time. Thoughtful, well-timed humor often helps create a space that feels more relaxed, authentic, and human.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
Therapy goals are something we develop together. Early on, I spend time getting to know what brought you in, what you’re hoping will feel different, and what hasn’t worked in the past. Some clients come in with very clear goals, while others just know something feels “off” - both are completely okay.
We revisit goals regularly and adjust them as needed. Sometimes goals become more specific over time, and sometimes they shift as we uncover deeper patterns or new priorities. The process is flexible, collaborative, and paced so that it feels supportive rather than overwhelming.

Work HistoryMy clinical experience comes from working with clients across a range of settings, which has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of how mental health shows up in real life -- not just in theory. I’ve supported individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My work as a therapist, in particular, has taken place across a wide range of settings, from hospitals and intensive care units to school environments. Working in medical settings exposed me to people navigating serious illness, medical trauma, grief, and sudden life changes. These experiences taught me how to stay calm and grounded during high-stress moments and how to support people when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.
In school settings, I worked closely with children, teens, and families, which deepened my understanding of how emotional challenges show up across different stages of life. This work emphasized the importance of clear communication, flexibility, and meeting people where they are.
For the past three years, I’ve been in private practice, where I’ve continued to build on these experiences while working more deeply with clients over time. Private practice has allowed me to focus on patterns, relationships, and long-term growth, while still offering practical tools and support for day-to-day challenges. Together, these experiences shape an approach to therapy that is compassionate, steady, and tailored to each individual. Working in both short-term and longer-term therapy settings has helped me learn how to meet clients where they are, whether they’re looking for practical tools, deeper insight, or space to process difficult experiences. These experiences shaped my belief in therapy that is compassionate, flexible, and tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all.
