I became passionate about mental health as a teenager, watching people close to me struggle and wanting to understand why. That curiosity grew into a career helping people make sense of what they’re going through and find their own way forward.
My goal is for you to feel listened to, understood, and safe, especially when you’re sharing things that are hard to say out loud. I believe the beliefs we hold about ourselves and the world often take shape in our earliest relationships and experiences. Together, we can notice those patterns, question the ones that hold you back, and build healthier ways of thinking and living.
I draw mainly from psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, and I adjust my approach to fit you. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, phobias, trauma, family and relationship struggles, body image and self-esteem, life transitions, and grief and loss.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Dominican University and completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Concordia University. I’m also certified in Adult Mental Health First Aid through NAMI. My internship was in a community mental health setting, where I worked with people from elementary-aged children to young adults.
