Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll start with brief introductions and explore what you hope to gain from therapy. I’ll gather background information, including any symptoms you’re experiencing and relevant past experiences, such as trauma history, to better understand your strengths, needs, and goals. Together, we’ll create a clear path forward, setting the foundation for meaningful progress.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With over 18 years of experience, I bring a diverse background in education, advocacy, youth development, mental health peer services, and therapy for youth and adults. I specialize in expressive arts therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and treating complex trauma. My undergraduate studies in Eastern philosophy, along with over seven years of living and traveling in Asia, have shaped my appreciation for diverse cultures and worldviews. As a foster care alum, I draw from my own lived experiences of healing and recovery to inform a client-centered and solution-focused approach to supporting your journey.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals navigating major life transitions or contemplating significant changes, particularly those with a history of trauma. Many of my clients have often come to a point in their lives where they feel ready to address unresolved trauma. My clients often feel stuck, experience patterns of burnout, or carry a sense of detachment. They are motivated by a desire for personal growth and a longing to connect with something greater than themselves, using their own life experiences as a source of strength and inspiration to build a life of purpose and meaning.
