THE MAGIC WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS IN THE WORK WE AVOID
Over a Decade of Experience Supporting Adults & LGBTQIA
A Collaborative, Holistic & Client-Centered Approach

She fosters a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Her approach is grounded in compassion and a deep respect for each unique journey for adolescents and adults.
Goals
First and foremost, my goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can feel safe exploring sensitive topics openly. This is your journey—a chance to reflect on the past, navigate the present, and envision the future in a confidential and compassionate setting.
In our sessions, we’ll work together to identify your treatment goals and develop a personalized plan to support your growth. I’m here to help you express yourself, build effective coping strategies, and guide you through the healing process at a pace that feels right for you.
Approach
It’s important for clients to know that this is your session and your journey. You are in the driver’s seat, and I’ll be alongside you every step of the way. We’ll focus on the issues that you feel ready to explore, at a pace that feels right for you.
Many people feel a sense of relief just by scheduling their first appointment—there’s comfort in knowing that help is on the way. Over the years, I've worked with clients who were initially hesitant to try therapy, only to say after their first session, “I was so unsure about starting therapy, but I already feel better. I just wish I hadn’t waited so long.”
Path to therapy
While working as a paramedic, I quickly realized that my passion extended beyond treating physical injuries—I was equally drawn to supporting individuals through their mental and emotional struggles. This insight led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Social Work.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic and narcissistic abuse, Veterans, individuals who have experienced trauma, and those coping with grief and loss. I consider it a profound honor to support people during some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. It’s always deeply meaningful to me when clients choose to share their stories, concerns, and experiences in our work together.
