Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, especially without support. As a teen, I struggled silently with anxiety and shame, feeling disconnected from those around me. But with guidance, I learned to navigate my thoughts and emotions, finding hope and connection. Now, I help clients of all ages do the same. Whether you’re an adult concerned about your mental health, a parent concerned about your child’s well-being or a teen seeking support, know that you’re not alone. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges and find hope for the future.

I’m rooting for you!

What is one thing that you have learned through your own therapy?

What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

Becoming a therapist felt like a calling from deep within. I’ve always had a natural care for people and a strong focus on relationships. As I considered different career paths, I realized this was the perfect fit for me. While I didn’t have much exposure to the field before school, my Christian faith showed me the importance of the role of counselors.

How have your personal experiences helped your work with your clients?

I’ve had diverse experiences working with people of different ages and cultures through volunteering both abroad and locally. While my previous roles weren’t as a therapist, I’ve always been drawn to building relationships. From a young age, I learned how to connect with others. Now, as a therapist, I have the privilege of supporting amazing individuals in a profound way. My varied experiences have given me an advantage because I’m naturally curious about understanding people in a holistic sense. I want to know about your culture, your generation, your family… your story.
