Nice to meet you

My style is collaborative, structured, and compassionate. I believe therapy should feel safe and supportive while also practical. Clients leave sessions with tools they can use right away, whether that means new ways to handle conflict, manage anxiety, or build clarity. I focus on progress while honoring each person’s values, identity, and cultural background. My goal is to help clients feel heard and understood while supporting meaningful, lasting change in what matters most to them.

Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy riding my Harley and exploring new places, especially through travel. I value time with family and close friends, whether sharing meals, attending events, or simply relaxing together. Music, fitness, and staying active are important to me, and I’m always looking for ways to recharge so I can bring fresh energy back to my work with clients.
