About…

My path to becoming a therapist has been a long one. I worked the ‘grind’ for many years in the hospitality industry, managing a great team and meeting many amazing people along the way. However, as my life became more stable, I became more dissatisfied with my work and found myself questioning, “What am I doing with my life?” I loved my job, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing – that I wanted to do more to help others and my community. As I explored these feelings in myself, I recognized that, in my pursuit of stability and ‘making it’, I had lost a part of me along the way. I felt like life was just going past me, that my life wasn’t really mine, but an idea of a life I was ‘supposed’ to lead.

I now work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their path forward. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, questioning long-held expectations, or trying to reconnect with themselves after years of putting others first. I welcome anyone seeking greater self-understanding, personal growth, or support through life’s challenges, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, accepted, and empowered to make meaningful change.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach, walking alongside clients as they explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we uncover patterns, clarify values, and build greater self-awareness, helping you develop the insight, resilience, and confidence needed to navigate challenges and create lasting change.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to explore what matters most to you and move toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out. It would be a privilege to support you on your journey.
