How I Work:
My philosophy is simple: I’m here to meet you where you are, support you, and help you work toward the changes you want to see in your life. During our first session, I’ll guide you through the therapy process, focusing on: understanding your goals, exploring challenges like anxiety or depression, identity struggles, substance use recovery, etc.
About Me
Outside of the therapy room, I spend my days with my partner, daughters, and our dogs. We love to travel, explore the outdoors, and enjoy quality family time. I care deeply about showing up fully for my clients, which is why I prioritize self-care and personal growth, so I can pour into others from a full cup.
