I started out as a photojournalism major in college and realized that I didn't feel like my work was helping anyone. After taking an intro to sociology class, I was hooked and knew that social work was the field I wanted to be in. I've also had the wonderful experience of attending therapy myself and it was truly a life changing experience that I hope to help others experience.

Engaged and motivated. Clients who recognize that this work isn't always easy, but know that I will accompany you through it all and that there is something great waiting for you on the other side.

Just because you feel this way now, doesn't mean you will feel this way forever. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away.

I appreciate the compassion they demonstrate towards their clinicians and that they recognize we need to be able to appropriately care for ourselves in order to care for others.

When I see that lightbulb moment with clients. Seeing the change in my clients over time and celebrating their successes with them.

Let's just get to know each other. I encourage questions if you have them. A lot of the first session if just us getting to know one another and figuring out our game plan for what we want to accomplish.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable. If there is something you need, don't hesitate to ask. It's a two-way street, so in order to make this relationship work you should be able to feel safe as we work together.

Hang out with my pup Lila, have fun with my amazing niece and nephew, spend time with friends and family.
