I wanted to be therapist since I was six years old. I would line teddy bears up around my room and ask them to tell me what was going on with them. As I was growing up, I was always the person my friends would confide in when they needed support. I understand the bravery it takes to come to therapy and to take the time to work through what has happened to you. I am always honored to sit with the clients I work with as they trust me to share their stories. The relationship between the therapist and the client is essential. My tenet for therapy is to meet everyone where they are at. I use a lot of reflection with clients.

“Therapy only works when we have a genuine desire to know ourselves as we are, not as we would like to be”. Shiizakana. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, and in the last six years, I have been focusing on helping clients through their healing and self-discovery journey.
