Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I work from a bottom-up perspective, which means I focus on what’s underneath the symptoms you’re experiencing. Together, we explore where these patterns may have come from—looking at your life experiences, core beliefs, childhood, and attachment—and how they may shape the way you see yourself and relate to the world. My goal is to help you understand your inner world, make sense of your experiences, and find liberation fro your discoveries.

Work HistoryMy approach to therapy is bottom-up, which means I focus on understanding you as a whole person—your unique strengths, challenges, and experiences. I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and create the life they want, and I find so much energy and joy in supporting clients as they discover their own resilience and freedom.
My experience began during my undergraduate years, where I supported children, families, and older adults in hospice care, domestic abuse shelters, and child protection services. I earned my Master’s in Social Work with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2020, and during graduate school, I provided individual and group therapy in an outpatient setting.
My mission is simple: to help you tap into your strengths, access your resources, and find healing and liberation in your life. Whether you’re navigating past trauma, seeking greater self-understanding, or wanting more joy and balance, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey.
