Great to meet you!

I have always known I wanted to be a therapist. I am fascinated and honored when others share their inner selves with me. I have always been passionate about trying to understand the experiences of others. As soon as I was old enough I started looking for ways to expand my understanding of cultures that differ from mine. I have been able to live in other countries and work with the LGBTQ population, diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and those who are neurodivergent.

My approach to therapy

I use compassion and humility to help you live your best life.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to feel supported, but also nudged to make changes that will support the change and /or healing you are looking for.
