Growing up with parents in the mental health field meant dinner conversations in my house were probably different from the norm. While other kids heard about sales meetings, I learned about resilience and recovery. From a young age, I developed my own curiosity about mental health, not because I was expected to, but because I genuinely wanted to understand how people navigate their inner worlds.
That curiosity led me down various paths before landing in therapy. One of my most formative experiences was working with children and young adults living with chronic illnesses. That taught me more about resilience than any textbook could because watching young people face daily medical challenges while still finding reasons to laugh, dream, and hope forever changes a person. It also showed me the power of having the right support during impossible times.
Maya Angelou once said, “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” That wisdom guides everything about how I practice.
We’re all changed by our experiences – that’s inevitable.
But whether those changes expand us or shrink us? That’s where we have choice, and that’s where therapy comes in.
I work with young adults and adults navigating life transitions and facing pressures from both outside demands and internal struggles. I support people experiencing anxiety, depression, or that overwhelming feeling when everything in life seems to hit at once. My approach is less about giving answers and more about finding them together by asking questions that help you see things from different angles you hadn’t considered.
Clients tell me they feel safe discussing difficult topics and that I help them navigate challenging feelings. They say they feel genuinely seen and cared for as individuals. I bring both compassion and curiosity to our work – I want to understand your world while also gently challenging you to see new possibilities.
Outside sessions, you’ll find me anywhere there’s water. Music and dancing keep me energized, and my toddler ensures I never stop learning, questioning, or seeing the world with fresh eyes.
If you’re hesitant about starting, know that change is a process and being nervous is completely normal. But if you’re thinking about therapy, you’ve already started in the right direction.
