What’s something you wish everyone knew about mental health?

That all emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, and everything in between—are part of being human. You’re not alone, and there’s strength in reaching out. Healing begins when we stop judging our feelings and start honoring them.

What therapeutic modalities or techniques do you love using, and why?

I love using a blend of person-centered therapy, strengths-based approaches, and mindfulness because they help clients feel seen, supported, and capable of growth. I also incorporate EMDR and cognitive behavioral techniques to gently process past trauma, build awareness, and support meaningful, lasting change.

What’s your approach to therapy in one sentence?

I approach therapy with openness and compassion, believing that everyone holds inner strengths that sometimes just need support to be uncovered.

If you weren’t a therapist, what job would you have?

Honestly, I’d be a greeter at Costco—chatting with people, pointing toward the rotisserie chickens, and living my best life one receipt check at a time. Helping people and samples?

What is something that always makes you smile?

Seeing my girls go from best friends to “I’m not talking to you” and back again with epic hugs before and after school—it’s like their own little daily soap opera, and I’m here for it!

What do you love most about working with clients?

I really love seeing people grow and change, especially when they finally let go of stuff they’ve been carrying around for way too long. It’s awesome to watch that happen.
