I became a therapist after working for 15 years in international development and humanitarian assistance. After doing my own therapeutic work, I learned that I might be more helpful as a therapist, focusing on individual lives, rather than on systems. Being a therapist matched my personality traits, especially related to empathy, and it felt like a good fit. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with veterans, immigrants and refugees, and survivors of trauma. This experience showed me how therapy can help people feel better, heal, and recover no matter what happened in their lives. Over time, I've observed my clients feel more hopeful, relaxed, and at peace.

My communication style is empathetic and clear to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I listen deeply and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If you are nervous or working through something difficult, I will be receptive and calm.

"I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. With nine years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach rarely works. That’s why I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, EMDR, and REBT with a holistic, solution-focused framework to create a proactive plan tailored specifically to you.


My career has been defined by serving those in their most vulnerable moments—from life transitions and developmental stages to veterans and families navigating the complexities of service to individuals fighting addiction and codependency. Whether we are utilizing 12-Step principles or processing trauma through EMDR, my goal is to provide a constructive, non-judgmental space where you can find a concrete path forward. I hold an MS in Counseling Mental Health and am dually licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and Addiction Counselor (LCDC) to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible."
