My path to becoming a therapist began with a curiosity about people’s inner worlds and a natural sensitivity to the emotional experiences around me. As a child, I was often anxious and deeply affected by the world. I felt things intensely and picked up on emotions others didn’t always notice. That sensitivity, while overwhelming at times, gave me a deep understanding of how important it is to feel supported, grounded, and truly understood. Those early experiences led me down what now feels like a natural path: helping others through therapy. I know firsthand how isolating and disorienting it can feel to struggle internally, especially when the world around you feels overstimulating or disconnected. That’s why I strive to create a space that feels steady, warm, and validating, where you don’t have to carry everything on your own. My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I work to meet people where they are, with honesty and care, and help them move toward the version of life that feels most authentic and manageable for them. Outside of the therapy room, I find peace in nature and joy in spending time with animals. I share my home with an affectionate orange cat and a playful beagle, both of whom remind me daily of the importance of presence, connection, and unconditional care.
