I bring a compassionate, grounded, and collaborative approach to therapy. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and families from all walks of life—from children and teens in foster care or residential settings to adults navigating complex life challenges, as well as veterans, college students, and working professionals seeking balance and meaning. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged to explore your strengths in a safe, welcoming environment where meaningful change can begin.
