My passion for becoming a therapist grew from my own experiences navigating mental health challenges and discovering firsthand the profound impact that compassionate, supportive care can have. Those experiences inspired me to pursue a career where I can walk alongside others through their own challenges, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I believe that people are not defined by their problems or challenges. Rather, we are shaped by our childhoods, relationships, and life experiences. I strive to understand each person within the context of their unique story and experiences, rather than simply focusing on the difficulties they are facing.
I am especially passionate about making mental health care accessible to the community I grew up in. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to the community that shaped me by helping make quality, compassionate mental health support more approachable and available to those who need it.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, wake surfing, paddle boarding, boating, and spending time outdoors. I also love spending time with my dog, Harley, who is always happy to join me for an adventure. I believe that maintaining connection, finding joy, and making time for the things that bring us fulfillment are important parts of a balanced and meaningful life.
