I am accepting new clients!

I will be a collaborative partner in the work, so clients leave feeling more understood, more capable, and a little more hopeful. I bring a background in trauma-informed care, crisis counseling, and suicide crisis intervention to my work with adolescent clients. I've had the privilege of walking alongside children navigating trauma, big life changes, and family disruption — and I've seen firsthand how resilient young people can be with the right support.

I originally became a social worker not only because of how much I get to learn about people and their lives, but also because of the ways I can help bridge gaps in understanding and how people view the world. I want all of my clients to know that I see the human parts of them and there is so much that makes up a person than the surface level. Being a counselor feels like an honor in so many ways, because there's so much to learn from other people, no matter their age, ability, or background.
