My path to becoming a therapist began with being a lover of community and learning from others around me. I am inspired by finding my “why” and my “purpose” while also helping others do the same. I go by the motto “pay It forward,” as the work done with you the client, doesn’t just benefit YOU the person, but the community. These values are deeply personal to me, as my own community has selflessly provided space for me to grow and heal. In turn, it is both my privilege and purpose to be of service to others to help them find strength, healing, and connection within themselves and their communities. Over the years, I have approached therapy as a healing environment, guided by values of community, grace, authenticity, and resilience. I deeply believe in the power of community and the idea that healing does not happen in isolation. None of us can do it alone. The presence of a supportive “village” has profoundly shaped my own journey, and it is my mission to extend that same sense of safety, compassion, and belonging to those I work with.

I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Mount St. Mary’s University, where I specialized in Marriage and Family Therapy. Additionally, I have completed Seeking Safety and Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP) training, which further enhanced my expertise in providing interventions that are evidenced based interventions for those who suffer from trauma.
