Therapy can be a space to slow down, listen inward, and begin making sense of the parts of life that feel overwhelming, painful, or disconnected. I believe healing happens through a safe, collaborative relationship where you can feel seen, supported, and gently challenged as you move toward greater self-understanding and growth.

I am a social worker and therapist with a background in social work education, student support, mentorship, and program leadership. Before moving more fully into clinical practice, I spent years teaching and supporting developing social workers, with a focus on trauma-informed, strengths-based, anti-oppressive, and culturally responsive practice. This work continues to shape how I show up as a therapist: with curiosity, humility, warmth, and deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in social justice. I believe people are shaped not only by their personal experiences, but also by the relationships, communities, identities, and systems that surround them. I work from the belief that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore patterns, strengthen insight, build coping tools, and reconnect with your own wisdom.

I enjoy working with people navigating life transitions, anxiety, identity development, relationship challenges, family and caregiving stress, self-doubt, and experiences of burnout or disconnection. I am especially drawn to supporting clients who are learning how to trust themselves, set boundaries, make meaning from difficult experiences, and create lives that feel more aligned with their values.

At the heart of my work is a belief in the healing power of connection, compassion, and authenticity. You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. Together, we can create space for reflection, growth, and meaningful change at a pace that honors your story.
