I have always found purpose and fulfillment in connecting and helping others feel less alone. In navigating through my own childhood trauma, I have come to realize that support along the journey is vital for peace and healing. I think that when we expose the shame we feel in safe places, we are able to begin the healing process. I became a therapist to ensure that others never have to experience this healing journey alone. I hope that my story is a reflection of hope.

I bring a lot of experience and expertise to therapy but I value a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship above all else. I do not try to push an agenda on you; I value your input and believe that, ultimately, you are the expert of your own life. I am here to walk alongside you and help navigate some really tough things with you. I feel it is the biggest honor in the world to be able to connect and help you navigate through this journey of life.

In navigating through trauma as a young child, I learned some ineffective coping skills that left me with a lot of anxiety and mistrust as an adult. I feel everyone’s journey is unique, but I relate well to others who have had to navigate some really difficult life events as well. Most recently in my life, I experienced secondary infertility, which ultimately resulted in an IVF journey. I found myself in lonely, quiet waiting rooms often. I don’t want anybody else to feel alone; I will sit in the waiting room with you for whatever you may be trying to navigate at this time.

I am most excited about the accessibility of therapy thanks in large part to technology. I find the new apps, social media platforms, and artificial intelligence fascinating. I am also moved by others’ courage in sharing their stories on social media and breaking down the stigma of seeking mental health treatment.
