I believe that seeking therapy is one of the bravest steps you can take toward healing and growth. My journey into mental health began during my collegiate years as a student athlete, resident assistant, coach, and resident director. Through these experiences, I discovered my passion for supporting others through life's challenges and helping them find their inner strength.

My approach to therapy is strengths-based and collaborative. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, providing a warm, empathetic, and safe space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. I view therapy through a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens, recognizing that your unique background and experiences shape who you are today.

I'm passionate about making therapy engaging and accessible, especially for young people. I integrate creative therapies—including art therapy, play therapy, and animal-assisted therapy when possible—to help make the therapeutic process meaningful and effective.

I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. My work is grounded in creating a warm, empathetic, and safe therapeutic environment where healing can happen naturally. My practice is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive, recognizing that your experiences, background, and identity all shape your path to wellness.

I integrate evidence-based approaches with creative therapies to make our work together both effective and engaging. For younger clients, this often means incorporating art, play, and other creative methods that allow for expression beyond words.

I believe every person has inherent strengths and the capacity for growth. My core values of empathy, respect, trust, active listening, and validation guide every session. Whether you're an adolescent navigating complex emotions, a trauma survivor working toward healing, or an adult facing life's challenges, I'm here to support you as you climb your mountain, one step at a time.
