My approach to care:

Here to Help You Heal 

As a resident in counseling, I specialize in helping individuals navigate through some of life’s most pressing challenges in a safe therapeutic setting. These key challenges might include life transitions, day-to-day stressors, anxiety, relationship concerns, and more.  

In my practice, I take an authentic, supportive, and optimistic approach. I’m passionate about working with adolescents and young adults, with a special place in my heart for athletes, as this is how my counseling journey began.  

My Approach to Care 

I believe in the importance of active listening and validation in a clinical setting, helping us to build a strong therapeutic alliance. Working together, you can expect an authentic and affirming environment that focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to guide you along your healing journey.   

Taking a more unstructured approach in these therapies allows me to focus on deepening our relationship rather than simply checking off a list of questions to ask. More, I tailor my approach to each person’s unique needs to ensure you identify and achieve your specific mental health goals. I look forward to the opportunity to create this lasting therapeutic relationship with you.  

A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care 

My journey into therapy began with my own counseling experience back in college, when I sought out help to address sports performance anxiety I was experiencing. Finding the encounter eye-opening, I left my therapist’s office thinking, “This is what I want to do for my profession,” and haven’t looked back since! This first-hand accounting of just how empowering therapy can be deepened my commitment to prioritizing the therapeutic relationship first and foremost, bringing genuine and authentic energy to each session.  

Personal Interests 

Outside the office, you’ll find me enjoying a wide range of hobbies, especially running, traveling with my friends, and reading, preferably on a beach somewhere! When I do venture inside I’m often cooking my comfort meals and binge-watching old TV shows.
