My passion for working with individuals began during my years working in high school and college settings. There, I found a passion for journeying with others, being present for their joy and pain, and providing safe spaces for people to be fully known. With a desire to deepen my skills and focus my career on my favorite part of the work (people!), I completed an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I come to this work with a deep sense of gratitude for those who trust me with their stories, and humility, for all I have to learn from you, the client.

I enjoy working with clients navigating a variety of challenges and find that often, the clients who work best with me have a deep curiosity for their internal experience and are looking for counseling that goes beyond talking and problem-solving.

Through my time as both a counselor and a client, I found a deep love for Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). IFS, also sometimes called “parts work”, is an evidence-based, trauma-informed, and somatic approach to healing. This model invites us to lay down “pathology” and simply listen to and care for the stories and needs of your individual system.
