I believe that the therapeutic space can be a place to explore and discuss what ultimately matters most to each individual, as well as how to align those values with actions. I help clients connect with a sense of purpose, and navigate life's changes and challenges while finding meaning in the midst of it all.

Build ways to pause and choose how to respond when confronted by difficult situations, interactions, or thoughts and feelings. I offer mindfulness interventions and coping strategies to work through whatever challenges you are facing. I also help clients develop insight and awareness of patterns, which helps them unlock their own growth and healing.

Clients describe me as supportive, warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I take care to ensure that my clients feel heard and understood.

I switched from teaching high school to counseling to help individuals through the ups and downs of life. My background helps me connect with others trying to match their life path to what brings them joy or a sense of purpose, and my previous experience in education gives me particular insight into the stressors that both teachers and students face.

I am a resident in counseling at Calmed Counseling & Consulting.
