Everyone encounters challenges beyond their control and makes mistakes that affect themselves and those around them. In my practice, I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can work towards your goals and navigate personal or relational difficulties. With years of experience in both social services and business, I bring a unique and diverse perspective. My own journey is shaped by overcoming obstacles, and it is through the support of others that I’ve found the opportunity to give back. I would be honored to be your ally, walk alongside you, and support you in discovering your best path forward.

I have supported many people navigating therapy for the first time, which can often feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable. I strive to create a warm, calm, and welcoming environment to ensure that the initial experience feels safe. I believe that a positive therapeutic experience is essential in fostering openness to ongoing support and healing.

Loss and trauma can deeply affect our choices and relationships, often in ways we don’t fully realize. A lot of the time, these impacts stay hidden and unspoken, leaving others to make their own assumptions.

Strength-Based

I take a trauma-informed approach, recognizing the deep physical and emotional impacts trauma can have. While trauma may underlie your challenges, it isn't always necessary or appropriate to address it immediately. I prioritize respecting where you are in your journey and work collaboratively, focusing only on areas you feel ready to explore, ensuring safety and empowerment in the process.
