I chose to become a counselor because of my own experiences navigating stress and life transitions, along with the meaningful support I received along the way. These experiences inspired my commitment to providing clients with understanding, guidance, and a safe space to grow.

I work best with adolescents and adults who are seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. I also connect well with clients who value practical tools, clear goals, and a collaborative approach to building resilience and confidence.

I am most excited to work with clients who are motivated to better understand themselves and open to learning new strategies for growth.

I wish all clients knew that therapy is not about having everything figured out. It’s about showing up as you are and together finding the steps that move you forward.

I chose to practice at Thriveworks because of their commitment to accessible, high-quality mental health care and their support for clinicians in providing client-centered services. I value being part of a team that prioritizes compassion, collaboration, and growth.

I am inspired by seeing clients discover their own strengths and make meaningful progress toward their goals. I also draw inspiration from my family, mentors, and the resilience of the people I work with every day.

In the first session, clients can expect me to focus on getting to know them, listening to their story, and learning what they hope to gain from therapy. I understand that it can take time to build comfort and trust, while also discussing practical goals to guide the work ahead.

In the first session, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space, build trust, and begin understanding the client’s needs and goals so they feel supported and heard from the start.

Clients should know that I bring both personal and professional experience to my work, value authenticity, and focus on meeting each person where they are with respect and practical support.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, my dog, reading, and watching movies.

One thing that defines me is my dedication to the people I care about, always prioritizing connection, support, and meaningful relationships in my life.
