I believe therapy is most powerful when it’s rooted in empathy, trust, and genuine collaboration. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own mental health journey and the transformative impact of compassionate care. That experience continues to inspire the way I show up — with authenticity, warmth, and deep respect for your story.

With clinical experience in college counseling, crisis response, and acute psychiatric settings, I bring a calm, culturally responsive, and client-centered approach to working with adolescents and adults. I honor each person’s strengths while helping you navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I’m passionate about helping you build practical tools to better understand your thoughts, regulate emotions, and reconnect with your body. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels right for you.

Living in Rockaway Beach, I find renewal by the ocean and through yoga and dance — practices that gently inform my holistic, mind-body approach to healing.
