I Began My Journey to Becoming a Therapist Through a Desire to Bring More Hope Into the World
As an eldest daughter, caring and helping has always been central to who I am. I originally thought I’d go into nursing, then discovered I’m most fascinated by the mind and emotions. My background spans foster care and adoption, medical social work, and ministry, all of which taught me how to guide individuals and communities through grief and life changes.
My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t exactly linear, but every piece of it helped get me here. Through my own experiences and education, I realized therapy was the perfect place to combine compassion, insight, and practical strategy to support real change in people’s lives.

How I Approach Therapy
I approach therapy with warmth, directness, and curiosity. I meet clients where they are, helping them notice patterns that no longer serve them while building compassion and self-awareness. Our work together is grounding, human, and practical. We do meaningful, honest work, make room for humor and relief, and move at a pace that honors your nervous system, not your to-do list.
In addition to individual and couples therapy, I also provide on-site business and workplace coaching and consulting. I help teams navigate organizational patterns, tensions, and communication styles to create smoother collaboration, resolve conflict, and build a more productive, satisfying workplace.
What Makes Me and My Practice Unique
I’m originally from Philadelphia, a generational Birds fan through and through. I’ve never backed down from honesty, direct communication, loyalty, compassion, and commitment, and I bring that same investment, humor, and care into our work together.
I love watching clients discover new perspectives, hope, order, and clarity. A lot of our work focuses on behavioral integrity, aligning your actions with the person you are and the person you want to become. We start with self-compassion and kindness, so there’s a foundation of health and sustainability underneath everything else we build toward.
Outside of Therapy
I’m a toddler mom, my dream job and the coolest thing I’ve ever done. I’m an eldest daughter with a lot of big sister energy, happiest outside on a walk while talking with family or friends. I share my home with a Mini Aussie named Lilo and a cat named Whitney Houston, who’s been with me for 13 years.
I love good comedy, live music and unfortunately TikTok. I’m a fiction reader, a scrapbooker, and someone who tries to add as much color and whimsy to daily life as possible. My husband is my favorite person in the world, and we work at keeping it that way. I also have my own therapist, and I prioritize my sessions just as much as I prioritize yours.
