About

With a professional background in human resources and extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families in after-school and residential treatment settings, I bring a deep understanding of the various environments and relationships that shape our lives. These experiences have enhanced my appreciation for how developmental, relational, and broader social and cultural factors influence emotional well-being, reinforcing my passion for working with individuals from early childhood through young adulthood. I value supporting children and teens as they navigate growth, identity, relationships, emotions, and life transitions, while also partnering closely with caregivers to help them better understand and support their child’s unique needs.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. I focus on helping clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies. When working with children, I incorporate play based therapy techniques to support clients in a developmentally appropriate manner. Additionally, I am EMDR-trained, which enables me to assist clients in navigating overwhelming experiences and emotional challenges. I work from a strengths-based perspective to align our work with your goals, values, and unique sources of resilience. I am passionate about empowering people with tools for coping, creating safety, and fostering meaningful connections. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where individuals and families feel encouraged to explore their experiences, strengthen relationships, and move toward healing and growth at their own pace.
