I believe everyone should have access to counseling and the opportunity to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. With experience working with children, adults, individuals living with substance use, and those impacted by social injustice, I bring a person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed approach to every interaction. My lived experience deepens my empathy, while cultural humility keeps me grounded and open to continual learning. It’s a privilege to walk alongside others on their path to healing and empowerment.

Hello, I am very excited to embark on this journey with you to improve your mental health! My approach to counseling combines uncovering negative experiences and beliefs that harm your mental well-being with providing you practical tools to work through these issues. I achieve this by integrating skills from DBT, CBT, and ACT with deeper work through EMDR and IFS therapies. I have worked with a diverse range of clients, including children, teens, families, and individual adults, and I believe that this knowledge allows for a holistic approach to working with each person. I hope that through our partnership, I can offer you the help you seek!

I have been in the field of social work for over 20 years and have experience in mental health, working with youth, adults, and families in various settings. I have a passion for helping others and am here to create a safe space as I support you through your journey. This journey is about you. Therefore, you will set the goals you want to achieve, and I can empower you with the tools to conquer them. In my free time, you will find me focusing on my own self-care while hiking, biking, running, or golfing.
