I struggled with my own mental health when I was young after the death of my father. Counseling helped me process and heal from my trauma, and showed me the role I wanted to play in the lives of others.

Clients who are willing to give time and effort in understanding themselves and where they are.

I am most excited to work with clients who are ready to address their concerns and are willing to collaborate actively to learn new skills and reclaim the authorship of their life's narrative.

That therapy isn't linear, there are times of progress and times that feel stagnant or even difficult that all lead to healing.

Thriveworks is regarded positively in the community as an organization that both views therapists as people while prioritizing the client.

I am inspired by seeing growth and change take place, it is a humbling experience to witness clients meeting their goals and starting to notice changes in themselves outside of therapy.

Talking about our expectations, their past experiences with therapy and any ideas of what helps them or what doesn't, setting goals for treatment, and getting to know the client!

I want to understand why they are seeking therapy and what they hope to get from it.

I am a resident in counseling so I participate in clinical supervision. Also, I am very casual and aim to make the therapy room as relaxed and authentic as possible.

I have two dogs who I spend free time with, and I love camping and recently have been getting into pickleball.

Something that defines me would be my love for connection with my friends and family, culture, and hobbies.
