I discovered my passion for psychology in middle school when I helped a friend navigate their battle with depression. Since then, I have been committed to becoming a therapist, and this passion has only grown. I consider it a privilege to contribute to someone else’s personal growth and self-discovery—nothing brings me greater happiness. I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of St. Thomas. In my free
time, I enjoy traveling, swing dancing, and playing board games.
Professional Experience
In therapy sessions, I employ a collaborative approach, working with clients to develop individualized strategies that best meet their needs. My focus is on equipping clients with information and tools they feel comfortable using both inside and outside of therapy, helping them build confidence and empowerment to manage their symptoms independently. I have experience with Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Behavioral approaches, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Expertise in treating adolescents, adults, and families dealing with trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and life transitions.
