My path to becoming a therapist started long before I ever thought of it as a career. Growing up, I was surrounded by people navigating mental health challenges, often at a time when mental health wasn’t talked about as openly or understood as it is today. Those experiences sparked a lifelong curiosity about people; why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, how our experiences shape us, and how much support and understanding can matter when life gets hard.

​

Over the years, that curiosity grew into a genuine passion for understanding people and the complicated, messy, and sometimes wonderful experience of being human. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural fit for me. I love helping people make sense of their experiences, better understand themselves, and figure out what they want and or need moving forward. 

​

In my work, I bring professional training, curiosity, compassion, and a healthy respect for the fact that none of us has life completely figured out. I believe that understanding where we’ve been can help us better understand where we are and can give us a little more freedom in deciding where we want to go from here.

​

Outside of therapy, I’m a mom of three, which means life is rarely quiet or predictable. I’m also unapologetically pretty "lazy" even "boring" in my free time these days. I genuinely enjoy doing nothing, staying home, and hanging out on the couch with my dog! If I don’t have anywhere to be, I’m probably happiest right where I am. I think there’s something to be said for a life that includes both meaningful work, activity and plenty of time to just… be.
