I became a therapist because of the impact therapy had on me in my early 20s. I was struggling with identity, relationship trauma, and just needed a safe, nonjudgmental space — and that’s exactly what therapy gave me. That experience shaped how I show up now: grounded, compassionate, and deeply committed to creating space for others to feel seen.

I work with young adults, teens, and perinatal women — clients navigating big transitions, identity shifts, anxiety, trauma, and the often invisible emotional weight of motherhood. After becoming a mom myself, I quickly realized how isolating that experience can be, even with support. It sparked a passion in me to help others feel less alone in their journey.

I currently work as a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Hempel. My background includes years at a PHP/IOP treatment center for adolescents and adults, where I worked with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, OCD, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma. I’ve led individual, group, and family therapy and regularly collaborated with schools, providers, and care teams — all of which continue to inform my work in private practice today.

I’ve received specialized training in trauma recovery (including parts work and EMDR) and hold advanced certification in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Clients describe me as calm, warm, intuitive, and honest. I value deep connection, but also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff — humor and casual conversation are often welcome in the room.

Outside of sessions, I’m usually on a late afternoon run with my daughter, diving into a home project, or reading something that helps me grow — all parts of my life that keep me grounded and help me stay connected to the people I work with.

If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to explain everything — just show up as you are — I’d be honored to meet you there.
