As a former high school counselor, I encountered my fair-share of anxiety-filled, doubt-swirling questions of, “Who am I? What do I value? Who do THEY think I am?” I truly believe within these questions is where the beautiful magic called change happens for our students. In my work as a therapist, I aim for my students to feel empowered and confident as the author of their own story. My sessions focus on getting to the heart of who the student sitting across from me truly is — what they value, dream about, and are navigating day to day. Whether we’re chatting while drawing or taking a walk-and-talk session, I approach each student with humility, curiosity, celebration, and sensitivity.

Championing who a student was, is, and is becoming is central to my work. My guiding belief is simple: every student has a story — a story worth being heard.

My hope is that every tween, teen, and young adult I work with experiences our time together as a safe, yet challenging space where they can feel empowered, confident, and most importantly, fully themselves. I also believe that meaningful change happens within the context of family — I love partnering with parents and caregivers through resources, guidance, and support as they walk alongside their student’s growth.
