My path began as an instructional aide, where I worked closely with students to build confidence and learning skills. During grad school, I interned as a school-based counselor, supporting both elementary and middle school students through their unique challenges. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy reading, watching movies, attending concerts, or adventuring outdoors. Fun fact: On weekends, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains or kayaking on the lake—nature is my way of recharging and finding clarity. I work with children and teens who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, and peer relationships. My approach is built on empathy and compassion, helping you find kindness within yourself. I believe laughter is a powerful tool for healing and that humor can create space for deeper connection and growth.I'm here to support you through challenges, celebrate your progress, and walk alongside you as you discover your inner strength and thrive.
