I’ve always been drawn to helping others and creating safe spaces for people to explore their feelings. Becoming a counselor felt like a natural way to combine that passion with practical skills to support mental health and resilience

While I have experience working with a range of clients, I particularly connect with those who value a reflective, patient approach. I’m open to working with diverse backgrounds and always tailor my approach to each person’s unique needs.

I’m most excited to work with clients who are open to giving themselves a chance to learn, listen, and really work through their mental health journey. It’s really rewarding to support people who want to explore their experiences and grow.

I wish clients knew that asking for help is one of the bravest things they can do. It’s a strong first step toward healing and growth.

Thriveworks stood out to me because of its dedication to ongoing professional development and collaborative environment. I wanted to be part of a team that values both client care and clinician growth.

I’m inspired by people’s ability to grow through pain. Watching clients find strength in the middle of difficulty reminds me how resilient we are as humans, and it motivates me to keep showing up with compassion and hope.

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel safe and supported. We’ll spend time getting to know each other, talking about what brought you in, and exploring what you’d like to get out of therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything right away — we’ll go at whatever pace feels comfortable for you.

What I really want to do in the first session is help the person feel at ease. I know it can be hard to open up to someone new, so I focus on building trust and just getting to know them. There's no pressure to figure everything out in one session — we go at whatever pace feels right.

I bring empathy, presence, and a sense of calm into my sessions. I understand that reaching out can be hard, so I prioritize building a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. The first session is mostly about understanding what you’re looking for and how I can best support you.

For fun, I enjoy spending time with animals, going for walks, and reading fiction.

I’ve always been deeply empathetic, often feeling the weight of others’ emotions. Over time, I’ve come to really value solitude and have learned to find a sense of calm and clarity in stillness.
