I've always believed that the work we do should leave the world a little better than we found it. I am drawn to helping others through difficult times, and social work gave me a framework for understanding that our struggles don't exist in isolation - they're shaped by our relationships, environments, and the broader systems around us. Counseling allows me to help people heal while honoring both their individual strengths and the context of their lives.

I especially enjoy working with people who don't yet have the words for what they're experiencing. They simply know that something feels off, they're feeling stuck, or life isn't unfolding the way they'd hoped. Counseling doesn't require having all the answers - it begins with curiosity. Together, we'll make sense of your experience and find a path forward.

Ultimately, counseling is about our shared humanity. Suffering is universal, people are more than their diagnoses or circumstances and healing comes gradually through compassion and connection.

We'll move at a pace that feels right for you. Early sessions are an opportunity to understand what's bringing you to therapy, identify your strengths, and explore the changes you'd like to make. We'll work together to find an approach that fits your needs, and if those needs change along the way, we'll adapt together.

I believe healing happens in relationship, people are shaped by their experiences and the contexts in which they live, and everyone deserves to be met with compassion.

Counseling is always unique because every person brings a different story, set of strengths, and hopes for change. The direction of our work is shaped by your goals, values, and lived experience. My role is to bring clinical knowledge, curiosity, and support while we work together to find what is most helpful for you.
