There are moments in life when everything feels too heavy to carry—when emotions feel overwhelming, relationships feel confusing, and the past doesn’t seem to stay in the past. I became a therapist because I believe no one should have to navigate those moments alone. My goal is to meet clients where they are, especially when life feels messy, painful, or uncertain, and walk alongside them as they begin to make sense of their experiences and rediscover their sense of self.
I primarily work with teenagers, young adults, and adolescents. I have had years of experience working within the Child Welfare and Foster Care system, in which I have experience supporting individuals and families facing a wide range of challenges including: complex trauma, attachment disruptions, and difficult family dynamics. I have a deep understanding of how early and ongoing life stressors can shape emotions, behaviors, and relationships.
My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and tailored to meet individual client’s unique needs. I recognize that life can create barriers that feel impossible to move through, but I also believe every person carries unique strengths that can be built upon to create meaningful and lasting change. Together, we focus not only on healing from past experiences, but also on identifying resilience, developing coping tools, and fostering a stronger sense of self.
Above all, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable showing up as their full selves. I want each person I work with to feel seen, heard, and accepted—especially in their most vulnerable moments. It is my hope that therapy becomes a place where true, raw emotions are welcomed, and where healing can begin at a pace that feels right for each individual.
