Therapy is a unique and highly vulnerable environment that can be intimidating to navigate. I believe in the power and importance of first establishing a safe space for each client to create a solid foundation. I utilize a trauma-informed approach and empower clients to be the expert of their own experiences. My role is to provide the tools and support needed to reach collaboratively set goals. I pull from various evidence-based practices including mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to create a treatment approach appropriate for each client's unique needs. I am committed to guiding each client to a space in which they can thrive in their lives.
I have over five years of experience working with anxiety, depression, and PTSD of varying intensity levels. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual and gender-based violence with a focus on navigating daily life, relationships, and boundaries.

I have always been passionate about mental health and believe in the importance of having access to diverse clinicians. Mental health should be accessible to all!
I love reading, dancing, traveling, and camping. I try to push myself to try out new things and explore new places regularly.
I try to read a little bit every day. Sometimes it's just two pages, but it feels like a brief pause from reality.
My ideal way to recharge is to go to the beach with a snack and just enjoy the scenery. The feeling of the sand and cold water is incredibly grounding for me.
