As a therapist, I strive to "hold space" with clients. Holding space for another person is incredibly profound bringing your entire presence to them. You walk along with them without judgment, willing to end up wherever they need to go by giving the energy of our attention to the pain and struggle of another human being. As a ally to a variety of communities, I make it a priority to learn about the complexities and intersections of a persons identity; to honor each person's journey and recognize the privileges I have in sharing such a vulnerable space.

I was born in Erie, Pennsylvania before moving to Wyoming when I was six years old. I have always been passionate about understanding behaviors and mental health and how it impacts our ability to live fulfilling lives. I have worked with the homeless population, adults and couples with an array of personal goals. In 2019 I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Grand Canyon University. I felt like I had a great understanding of how our mental health is tied to other important areas of our lives, but I wanted to use that understanding to work with individuals that were struggling for a variety of reasons.
