About
Think of me as your personal growth guide—part therapist, part warm presence, part reminder that even the messiest seasons can lead to blooming. With a background as a school counselor and domestic violence advocate, I support teens (16+), adults, and couples through life’s wild weather—things like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity shifts, family tension, big life transitions, and healing from domestic or sexual violence. I also support sex struggles and proudly affirm LGBTQIA+, nontraditional, and kink-positive relationships. View 4 Photos In therapy, I blend mindfulness, creativity, goal-setting, autonomy and compassion to help you reconnect with your roots and water the parts of you ready to grow. Sometimes that looks like deep reflection, and other times it’s celebrating tiny wins or planting new habits that feel more “you.”
