My Story

I’ve always been drawn to the transformative power of vulnerability and authentic human connection, ultimately leading me to become a therapist. As a sensitive child and even more so as a teenager, I found myself captivated by the psychology classes offered at my high school. They fueled my desire to understand the complex and sometimes conflicting emotions, thoughts, and behaviors—both my own and those of others.

During this time, I began experiencing symptoms of anxiety, which led me to seek out talk therapy. My relationship with my therapist became a sanctuary—a space of trust, safety, and compassion where I could process my emotions and gain insight into myself. I felt truly seen. Therapy offered me the opportunity to explore my most painful experiences with curiosity, which led to a life-changing shift as I found both awareness and acceptance of my anxiety. I remember feeling a little lighter after each session.

As I moved forward into higher education, I realized I wanted to offer that same space to others—a place where people could explore the darkest and most beautiful parts of themselves, and maybe even learn to embrace these parts with love. This inspiration, combined with my passion for social change and empowerment, guided me toward a career in clinical social work.

My journey has brought me to work with diverse communities, including individuals experiencing homelessness, those in early recovery from substance use disorders, survivors of intimate partner violence, families affected by cancer, and those grieving the loss of a loved one. Most recently, my role in community mental health has shown me the profound impact of trauma on many lives. I aspire to create a space where people can find not just relief, but also a sense of belonging, the freedom to be fully themselves, and the tools to create lasting change.
