Therapist in training

If you’ve found your way here, something inside you is asking for support, maybe quietly, maybe urgently. Whatever brought you here, know that there is room for all of it: the anger, the uncertainty, the courage, the grief, the hope. Together, we can move at a pace that feels safe and purposeful for you.

I collaborate with clients navigating a diverse range of life challenges. I’m particularly passionate about supporting those experiencing life changes and transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, eating disorders, and self-esteem concerns. Whether someone is moving through loss, feeling weighed down by expectations, or trying to make sense of parts of themselves that feel disconnected or misunderstood, my intention is to create a space where their full experience is welcomed and honored.

As a therapist in training at St. Edward’s University, I bring many meaningful life experiences that have shaped how I show up to counseling. My background includes not only years as an educator and supporting clients as a senior stylist but also working alongside parents’ and couples’ groups within the community. Each of these roles strengthened my ability to listen mindfully, hold complexity, and meet people where they are. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

I care deeply about creating affirming spaces for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients, individuals in larger bodies, clients living with chronic illness, people working in helping professions, and those exploring their spiritual path or sense of belonging. My hope is to offer a therapeutic space where clients feel seen in both their individual experiences and the broader systems that influence their lives.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that healing happens in relationship through safety, curiosity, and freedom to show up as one's authentic self. People I work with often describe me as warm, open, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to cultivate an environment that invites exploration in one’s own time in a nonjudgemental, empowering way.

I practice from a Person-Centered and Trauma-Informed foundation, and I integrate a variety of modalities depending on what best supports my clients’ needs and goals. This includes pulling from Gestalt, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, Expressive Arts, and Health at Every Size (HAES) approaches. I see therapy as flexible and creative, sometimes that looks like exploring the stories we’ve been telling ourselves, and other times it means closely tuning into the parts of us that feel scared, protective, curious, or brave.

Outside of the office, I’m someone who values connection and play. You can usually find me spending time with my family, exploring trails, and recharging through movement and fresh air. I also love cooking homemade meals (eating them, too!), and I enjoy listening to music, ranging from rock to hip-hop to acoustic. I aim to bring my whole self to this work, and my hope is that you feel welcome to do the same.
