My decision to become a counselor was sparked while I was overseas engaged in humanitarian work. Although I initially planned to pursue a career aligned with my BA in English, that transformative experience led me to reconsider my path. I discovered a deep passion for connecting with individuals on a personal level and supporting them exactly where they are. As a counselor, I am honored to walk alongside my clients and be part of their healing journey.

I tailor therapy to each client by taking time to understand their unique experiences, strengths, challenges, values, and goals. I like to really get to know my client's and understand their world. No two people are the same, so therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. I work collaboratively with clients to create an approach that feels supportive, safe, and meaningful to them.

We'll spend time getting to know each other—I'll ask questions about what brought you in, your goals for therapy, and a bit about your background. You're welcome to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with; there's no pressure to dive into everything all at once. This is your space, and we move at your pace.

We'll also talk about what therapy might look like going forward, and I’ll answer any questions you have about the process. Most importantly, I want you to walk away from the first session feeling that this could be a space where real, meaningful work can happen—together.

Therapy is a collaborative journey where the client is an active participant. Clients decide what their goals are and what they hope to gain from sessions. There is no set time limit for therapy, and progress can look different for everyone.

My practice is grounded in the belief that every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and supported without judgment.
