Specialties: Children and Teens, Individual Therapy

If there is one belief that grounds my clinical work, it is this: no one is too broken or too hurt to find healing. I approach therapy from a person-centered, strengths-based perspective, with an emphasis on creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients can explore, grow, and heal.

My clinical experience includes working with both survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, supported by over 80 hours of specialized training in this area. I have a particular passion for working with children, including those who are neurodivergent, have experienced trauma, or struggle with anxiety. I strive to provide developmentally informed, trauma-sensitive care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

I work with individuals across the lifespan and firmly believe that it is never too early—or too late—to begin the journey toward healing. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my energetic puppy, who is learning to manage a bit of anxiety herself.
