Working With Me
What Empower means to me: To feel empowered means to fuel oneself with positive energy in order to feel whole. When we empower ourselves, we are intrinsically motivated to live our most authentic lives.
My Philosophy: I aim to create an open, collaborative space with clients where conversation can flow and mutual respect lays the groundwork for goals to be reached. I believe that mental health and healing is not linear, and as a counselor I am along for the ride from acceptance to achievement. May we remind ourselves to give grace as we navigate through life.
What sessions with me look like: Every part of a person is worth understanding. Your pain is as equally important as your triumphs. My goals as a therapist are to see you through a holistic lens, honoring who you are and supporting your growth. Without darkness there cannot be light, therapy with me looks like picking up a flashlight and choosing to turn it on.

More About Me
I’ve always been drawn to understand people in their most vulnerable states. It started with the importance of being a good friend, and becoming friends with myself through my formative years. Feeling different, I always made others feel accepted and safe in my presence. It is still of the utmost importance to me that I continue to make others I work with feel supported and heard. I worked to teach others yoga and mindfulness before I decided to become a therapist, and it brings me joy to help others in another capacity. I love connecting with different people through my work as a therapist and stay committed to leaning into my weaknesses as a counselor to turn them into strength and the knowledge to help more people.
