I became a counselor because I’ve always been drawn to understanding people beyond the surface—what shapes them, what wounds them, and what helps them heal. Working with children on the autism spectrum early in my career opened my heart to how much we all need to feel seen and supported in our unique ways. I witnessed how behavior often masks deeper emotional needs, and I knew I wanted to be the person who could help unpack and address those needs with care. My passion grew from there—especially in supporting individuals who feel misunderstood, silenced, or emotionally overwhelmed. Counseling allows me to create a space where people can reconnect with their truth and their voice, and that’s a privilege I don’t take lightly

I work best with children, adolescents and adults

I’m most excited to work with adolescents, because it’s such a pivotal time of discovery, identity formation, and emotional growth. It’s a stage where you're beginning to step into who you are, but that also comes with confusion, pressure, and exploration. I’m passionate about helping teens navigate the uncertainty, while also empowering them to connect with who they are—and who they want to become. Being a steady, supportive presence during that process is something I find incredibly meaningful.

I wish all clients knew that healing doesn’t mean having it all figured out—it means allowing yourself to grow at your own pace, without shame. You are not broken; you are becoming.

hose Thriveworks because it values accessible, client-centered care and supports clinicians in doing what they do best—showing up fully for their clients. I was drawn to the collaborative, compassionate environment and the opportunity to reach diverse communities in need of healing.

I’m inspired by the resilience and strength people show even in their most vulnerable moments. Having worked closely with children on the autism spectrum and adults facing anxiety, trauma, and identity challenges, I’ve seen firsthand how healing begins when someone feels truly seen and accepted. That quiet courage to keep going, to explore who you are despite confusion or pain—that’s what fuels my passion to be a counselor and hold space for transformation.

In the first session, clients can expect a safe, welcoming space where we’ll get to know each other and begin building trust. I’ll listen closely to your story, concerns, and goals—without judgment or rush. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, explore what you hope to achieve, and start thinking together about how I can best support you. It’s also a time for you to ask any questions about the process and for us to discuss what feels most comfortable for you moving forward.

In the first session, my goal is to create a foundation of trust and safety where the client feels heard and understood. I want to gather a clear picture of their current challenges, strengths, and what they hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we’ll start identifying immediate concerns and set initial goals that feel meaningful and manageable. It’s important that the client leaves feeling supported and hopeful about the journey ahead.

Clients should know that I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and affirming space where their unique story and experiences are valued. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. I’m here to support you at your own pace, honoring your truth and goals throughout the healing process.

I enjoy poetry, music, working out, and practicing reiki and playing instruments.

One thing that defines me is grounded adaptability.
