Each individual that comes into counseling has their own unique story, background, and reason for seeking help at that time. Therefore, it is crucial for me as a therapist to meet you where you are at, and to help you explore your own journey with compassion and non-judgement. In the counseling setting, I strive to give hope when people feel hopeless, inspire others to be all that they are capable of being, and ultimately watch clients walk away from their counseling experience feeling capable and excited to live their own personal journey

My professional journey began in marketing, where I developed a profound interest in the human mind and what shapes our thoughts and behaviors.
