My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, build coping skills, and rediscover your strengths.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe that therapy is a shared journey, one where healing happens through understanding, self-awareness, and genuine connection.

I’ve earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. While pursuing my master’s program, I completed an additional concentration in Rehabilitation Counseling to better understand and prepare myself to work with individuals living with chronic illness and/or disability. Before attending college, I served on active duty in the US Army and have worked in various domains of the helping field ever since.

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed working with children, adolescents, adults, military service members, veterans, and individuals with disabilities in inpatient, outpatient, residential, school, college, and vocational rehabilitation settings.

My diverse experiences, personal and professional, have shaped my belief that healing looks different for everyone, and that growth often begins with the courage to reach out for support. Why? Because I know what it's like to sit on the other side of a session. That experience helps me bring authenticity and empathy into my practice.

I enjoy spending my free time reading or listening to audiobooks, exploring new places, and getting lost in a good true crime podcast. I love cruising, practicing Pilates, gaming, and trying new foods, or unwinding with the latest Netflix series. When I’m not doing that, you’ll probably find me relaxing with my cat or spending time with family.
