I've always been fascinated by the human story. How we make sense of our experiences, how we grow, and how we find our way forward. That curiosity, paired with a deep care for people, is what brought me to this work.

With degrees in Social and Behavioral Science and Psychology, I've built a well-rounded foundation for understanding human behavior from multiple angles. My path has included research, mentorship, community work, and my own lived experience. All of these shape the lens I bring to therapy.

In session, I show up with curiosity, compassion, and a bit of edge. I believe healing doesn't have to be cold or clinical. It can be real, reflective, sometimes messy, and even a little bit humorous. My goal is to create a space where you're seen, supported, and challenged. A space where you're reminded that growth is possible, even when it feels slow.
