I entered the field of counseling because I believe mental health care is essential to living a fulfilling and connected life. Through my own experiences with life challenges and loss, I saw firsthand the powerful impact therapy can have. That experience inspired me to dedicate my work to helping others overcome barriers, deepen self-understanding, and build the relationships and lives they desire.

I work best with individuals who are curious about themselves and motivated to grow. Clients who want to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, particularly as they relate to relationships, self-worth, and life transitions, often find the work to be especially impactful.

I enjoy working with individuals who are open to self-reflection and seeking a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, heal from past experiences, and move forward in ways that feel meaningful to them.

I wish all clients knew that therapy is a process, not a formula or a destination. Growth happens over time, and worth is not measured by productivity, performance, or outcomes. You are valuable simply because you are you.

I chose to practice at Thriveworks because of its commitment to accessible, high-quality, and comprehensive mental health care. The collaborative model allows clients to receive support that considers the whole person, with access to additional services as needed, such as medication management.

In the first session, clients can expect a supportive, validating, and compassionate environment. We will begin building a safe and empowering therapeutic relationship while exploring your current concerns and goals. I will listen closely and collaborate with you to identify next steps that feel manageable and meaningful.

My primary goal is for clients to feel heard, understood, and supported. By the end of the session, I hope clients leave with a sense of hope, clarity, and confidence in taking the next steps toward their goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works from a compassionate, trauma-informed perspective. My goal in every session is to help clients feel comfortable, respected, and empowered to prioritize their mental health and well-being. I believe each person’s experiences are unique, and I approach every client with empathy, curiosity, and hope.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and traveling to visit family. I love exploring beautiful places and attending sporting events, especially baseball, which has always been a favorite of mine.
