I decided to become a counselor because therapy truly changed my life. It helped me see myself beyond the sum of my accomplishments and flaws, guiding me out of feelings of unworthiness and into a space of peace and self-acceptance. Through that experience, I realized how deeply mental health stigma impacts my community and how many people suffer in silence. I chose this path to help break that stigma and to guide others toward the same healing, clarity, and inner peace that transformed my own life.

I work best with adolescents and adults.

Healing, just like life, in not linear. There will be times when it feels like monumental progress is made and there will be times when it feels like nothing has changed. The power is in recognizing inner strength through the various stages of healing.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we begin building trust and exploring what brings you to therapy. I take time to understand your story, strengths, and goals while setting a pace that feels comfortable. In the early stages, we’ll focus on creating safety, developing insight, and identifying practical tools to support emotional balance and growth. My goal is to help clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as we begin the healing journey together.

My practice is deeply informed by my own journey of healing through therapy, which taught me the power of vulnerability, self-compassion, and authentic connection. Experiencing my own transformation instilled in me a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek help and the sacredness of being trusted with someone’s story. I value empathy, presence, and collaboration, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to explore, grow, and rediscover their innate strength and worth

We are all different people and should all be seen uniquely as we enter the therapy space. There is no one size fits all in my practice. I believe every client’s story, pace, and path to healing are unique. I tailor therapy by meeting clients exactly where they are—listening deeply, honoring their lived experiences, and collaboratively identifying what approaches best support their goals. I integrate techniques from mindfulness, CBT, and trauma-informed care, adjusting my methods to fit each client’s personality, values, and stage of growth. My aim is to create a space that feels both safe and empowering, allowing clients to move toward healing in a way that feels authentic to them.
