I am a therapist because I believe healing changes everything. My path to this work is both professional and deeply personal.

As a child, I experienced trauma that shaped the way I saw myself and the world around me. For years, I learned how to cope by staying strong, staying capable, and keeping parts of my story tucked away. It was not until adulthood, through my own therapy and faith, that I began to understand how those early experiences were still influencing my relationships, my nervous system, and my sense of identity.

Motherhood added another layer of growth. Becoming a wife and mom invited me into a new kind of vulnerability. I have navigated seasons of grief, pregnancy loss, identity shifts, and the quiet pressures women carry to hold everything together. Each season required me to return to the same truth I now share with clients: healing is not about erasing the past. It is about understanding it, integrating it, and choosing how you want to live moving forward.

Therapy gave me language for my inner world. It helped me untangle old narratives, regulate my nervous system, and approach myself with compassion instead of criticism. I learned that while we are not responsible for what happened to us, we are responsible for how we tend to ourselves now.

Today, I bring both lived experience and clinical training into the therapy room. My work is rooted in evidence based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and parts work informed by Internal Family Systems. I help children, teens, women, and families explore the patterns that feel stuck, build emotional regulation skills, and move toward healthier relationships with themselves and the people they love.

I believe every person deserves a safe place to restore, reflect, and rebuild. It is an honor to sit with clients as they make sense of their stories and create lives that feel more grounded, more connected, and more aligned with who they truly are.
