Get to know me…

I've known for as long as I can remember that I wanted to become a therapist. While it may sound cliché, I’ve always found myself naturally stepping into the role of a helper. That instinct stems from a deep curiosity about people—their paths, their stories, and what shaped them into who they are today. I’ve long felt a calling to offer the kind of support and safe space I once needed but didn’t always receive.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked closely with individuals and families, supporting them through some of life’s most challenging moments. These experiences have deepened my understanding of resilience, healing, and the power of genuine connection.

I believe that the therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone of effective therapy. By fostering authentic, trusting relationships, I aim to create a foundation where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and thrive—even in the face of adversity.

My Areas of expertise include (But not limited to):

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Addiction/Substance Use

  • Codependency

  • Life Transitions

  • Relationship Issues

  • Family Dynamics

  • Self Esteem Challenges

  • Vocational/Professional Stress

  • Trauma

  • Grief

Client population

I work with clients in their early adolescence (10+)up to older adults.

When working with adolescents, it is imperative to engage the family, if possible, as support for the young person.

When working with adults, you choose who is a part of your support system and the potential role they play in your treatment.

therapy for other Helping Professionals

I love working with other therapists or professionals in the helping professions as this poses a unique set of stressors including vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and sometimes burn out. Taking care of yourself as a therapist or helping professional is key to being effective while serving others in the field.
