I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee currently completing my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Simpson University. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each client’s unique story. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and solution-focused, with a growing emphasis on somatic practices that invite mind–body connection and holistic healing. Specialties & Focus Areas: I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, with particular interest in supporting: Teens and young adults (ages 13–35) Individuals navigating identity, relationships, or self-esteem Individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or stress Neurodivergent clients Individuals exploring personal growth, meaning, and life transitions Favorite Things to Do When Not Working: Outside of work, I enjoy reading, dancing, yoga, and crafts. I also spend plenty of time studying and growing in my field, which I value as part of my personal and professional journey. Favorite Quote: “But people themselves alter so much, that there is something new to be observed in them forever.” – Jane Austen Why I Chose This Career: I chose this career because I have always had a strong desire to help others navigate challenges and discover their strengths. Becoming a therapist allows me to combine compassion with practical tools, offering support as clients move toward healing and self-discovery.
