There is a restorative and energizing power that comes from authentic relationships, and this is what I strive to co-create with you. I practice from a client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed lens, cultivating a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment. I see my role in therapy as empowering and supporting you in identifying and using your unique identities, stories, and strengths to navigate life stressors, build self-esteem, and feel better in your mind and body- in addition to exploring how our communities and systems shape these identities and stories. I use an integrative approach in therapy, often working from a relational and narrative framework while incorporating mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in our sessions.

I completed my Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2021 after working 10 years with education and housing-advocacy nonprofit organizations. Prior to this, I graduated in 2011 from Kalamazoo College with my Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology and sociology, which continues to center my work from an environmental and social justice lens.

I have worked with young to older adults navigating a variety of mental health and life transitions, including grief & loss experiences, college and career shifts, relationship dynamics, and sober curiosity. I am experienced in crisis intervention and case management work, providing services to and advocating for clients in a hospital setting. I whole-heartedly believe group therapy is a profound and dynamic space for people to learn from and support each other, and I facilitate two intimate support groups at Room to Breathe for people who are grieving the death of a loved one.

At my core, I’m a people-person and passionate about building relationships, and I would be delighted and honored to meet you and start a conversation!
