Nice to meet you
I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I believe therapy offers a valuable space to feel heard, supported, and empowered while building healthy coping strategies. My approach is grounded in empathy and understanding, and I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges and work toward meaningful healing and personal growth.

Interests
Outside of work, I love anything that brings joy, creativity, or quality time with the people I care about. I’m a big Disney fan—it brings out that sense of magic and nostalgia that never gets old. I enjoy reading when I can and getting lost in a good story. I also love exploring new things with my family, whether it’s a weekend outing or trying something none of us have done before. Doing my makeup and hair is a creative outlet for me—it’s not just a routine, it’s a form of self-expression. I’m also involved in Girl Scouts with my kids, which has been such a meaningful way to bond and watch them grow. We enjoy camping, unplugging for a bit, and just being in nature. And of course, I’m always up for relaxing with a good TV show or movie—it’s one of my favorite ways to unwind.
