Therapy looks different for everyone, and that’s what makes it so powerful.
I believe that the more we understand ourselves, the closer we get to healing and to living in a way that feels real and authentic. My role is to be alongside you—to support you, to challenge you when it’s helpful, and to stay curious about what matters most to you.
Therapy invites us to sit gently with discomfort, to notice the patterns that shape us—both those that sustain us and those that no longer serve. It creates space to speak, to feel, and to unravel our inner worlds without judgment, allowing healing to emerge in its own time.

My work primarily focuses on older teens, college students, and adults.
Being both a therapist and someone's client, I understand the difficulty in not only starting therapy but finding a therapist you can vibe with. I hope to create a space that allows our true selves to show up and engage transparently with one another. I will often show up bringing in humor, sarcasm, and compassion. I view therapy as a two-way conversation with my role being supportive, unbiased, and at times challenging. I bring a trauma-informed lens to therapy, recognizing that both personal experiences and larger systems shape who we are and how we heal. My approach is flexible and collaborative, drawing from a variety of methods—like person-centered therapy, CBT, psychodynamic talk therapy, “parts work,” attachment theory, and relational therapy. What this means for you is that we’ll find the style and pace that feels right, creating space to explore patterns, build self-awareness, and strengthen showing grace/compassion to ourselves.
I see clients with a wide range of struggles, questions, and difficulties. I’ve found deep connection and a strong sense of purpose in working within the trauma field, particularly alongside survivors of sexual and relational trauma. This work continually reminds me of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of being truly seen and heard.
I also hold a deep respect for the sacredness of grief. In a culture that often minimizes or silences loss, I believe in creating spaces where grief can be seen, felt, and honored in all its complexity. Supporting individuals through profound loss is not about fixing or rushing their pain, but about accompanying them as they navigate the shifting terrain of love, longing, and remembrance.
I hold a Masters in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. In addition, I am a certified Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor as well as a certified Grief Educator.
