I chose to pursue a career in counseling to hold a space for individuals to feel safe in their mind and body.

I believe that holding a space for individuals to reconnect and heal the relationship with themselves is one of the most beautiful aspects of therapy. In my experience, therapy is a mixture of cultivating inner love, deconstructing shame, and allowing all emotions to exist without judgment. Laughter and tears are welcome too :) My passions within the therapy world are working through trauma, anxiety, body image, and exploring gender expressions and sexual identities. I enjoy working primarily with adolescents and young adults and I strive to be queer/LGBTQIA+ affirming.

At the moment, I am pursuing a Trauma Counseling Certificate. Before completing my master's degree, I had experience working with adolescent girls in the foster care system as an intensive behavioral treatment counselor. During my undergraduate studies, I also gained experience at a women’s empowerment center focused on healthy relationships, body image, and sex positivity. In the following years, I will begin course work to become sex therapy certified.
