A Little About Me:
I've always been passionate about helping others. Before settling into therapy, I worked in foster care and as a preschool teacher. I spent my days supporting children and families through challenges, big emotions, and relationship building. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in emotional regulation, communication, and fostering healthy relationships. I still use these skills daily in the therapy space. I enjoy helping people better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and build meaningful connections with others.
As a woman of color, my identity is an important part of who I am. My own experiences with self-discovery and learning to embrace my authentic self has given me a deeper understanding of how challenging it can be to find where you belong. Over time, I gained the confidence to stop trying to fit in and start celebrating the things that make me unique. Don't be surprised if you see me cosplaying at a convention and fully embracing my nerdy side. I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring your identity, building confidence, and becoming more fully yourself.
