Areas of Support:
In a world where answers are often instant and at our fingertips, full-on therapy can be easy to overlook – but it allows us to do the deeper work of creating a healthy sense of self, which trickles into all areas of our lives; reaching out for help and beginning your therapeutic journey is strength in its highest form. I look forward to working alongside you as you grow and live an even more empowered life, providing a client-centered, trauma-informed approach grounded in empathy and compassion. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all model; each session will be unique to you, as I meet you where you are in your journey. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you will feel seen, heard, and empowered to be your authentic self while growing into who you want to become. Together, we can work towards identifying and building upon your strengths to foster healing, self-discovery, and growth that can positively impact both your life and the lives of those around you.

I previously interned as a school social worker with children in K-6th grade, helping to promote healthy social-emotional development and positive group dynamics. I worked individually with students to support their unique areas of growth and emotional well-being. Following that, I interned as a clinical therapist at a substance use recovery agency serving the HIV+ and LGBTQIA+ community, where I facilitated both group and individual therapy. I also worked as a peer instructor for college-aged students on academic probation, providing peer support and facilitating in-class lesson plans aimed at improving academic performance, mental clarity, and overall student success.
