The future’s so bright, I’ve gotta wear shades!
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by a lifelong curiosity about people, a love of meaningful conversation, and my own journey with mental health. With a background in communication, marketing, and nonprofit work, I’ve always been drawn to the stories people carry and the resilience they show in the face of life’s challenges. Now, as an T-LAC, I’m thrilled to be here to support others as they navigate their own paths toward healing and change.
I work with individual adults, adolescents, families, and couples to help uncover what’s keeping them stuck and build strategies for lasting growth. My approach is warm, relational, and client-centered. I believe that trust, safety, and authenticity are the foundation for any meaningful therapeutic work. Using modalities like CBT, EMDR, and DBT/mindfulness, I collaborate with clients to explore identity, manage anxiety, navigate transitions, deepen self-understanding, and help to optimize for neurodivergent struggles like ADHD which add extra layers of complexity to daily life. I also incorporate trauma-informed care to ensure that each step forward honors your lived experience.
Rooted in Real Life
As a mother of two, I know firsthand the beautiful and complex realities of balancing care for others while showing up for yourself. I’m also a lifelong creative… improv, photography, and dance/yoga are some of the things that keep me inspired and grounded. I bring that same sense of creativity, humor, and curiosity into the therapy room.
I believe that everyone deserves support, and that healing happens when we’re truly seen and accepted for who we are. I’d be honored to walk with you through your next chapter. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relief, healing, or just someone to listen, I’ve got your back!
