I decided to become a counselor because I’ve always been deeply interested in supporting people through life’s challenges. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how mental health struggles can go unspoken, especially in families or communities where therapy isn’t widely accepted. I wanted to enter the field to provide support, understanding, and guidance to young adults and others who may be navigating difficult transitions or feeling unheard. I’m also passionate about helping to normalize mental health care and reduce the stigma so that seeking support feels like a strength, not a burden.

I tend to work best with motivated adults who are looking to better understand themselves and create meaningful change in their lives. I also work closely with women who feel stuck or overwhelmed within their family system especially those navigating boundaries, expectations, cultural or generational pressures, and shifting roles.

I start by really getting to know you, your history, goals, values, and what’s bringing you in right now. Therapy isn’t one size fits all, so we move at your pace and focus on what feels most relevant and helpful for you. I check in often, adjust along the way, and collaborate with you to make sure our work fits your life, your strengths, and what you’re hoping to change.

In your first session, I’ll take the time to get to know you, understand your story, and begin exploring what matters most to you.

We all have struggles at different points in our lives, and it’s natural to need help navigating them.

My work as a counselor is deeply informed by my early experiences witnessing how mental health struggles often go unspoken particularly in families or communities where therapy isn’t widely accepted. Seeing the impact of that silence shaped my desire to enter this field. I value compassion, understanding, and creating a space where people feel truly heard. I’m especially passionate about supporting young adults and others navigating major life transitions and about helping normalize mental health care so seeking support feels like a strength rather than a burden.
