What I Do
I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and known.
As a graduate counseling intern, I strive to create a space where you can show up just as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out. Figuring it out is part of what we will do together.
I hold a deep respect for the power of stories. The stories we carry—about ourselves, our relationships, our pain, and our resilience—shape how we move through the world. Together, we slow down, listen closely, and make meaning of what has been lived and what is still unfolding.
You were not meant to walk your journey alone. My hope is to walk alongside you and witness your story as you explore and discover new possibilities for healing and growth.
