Approach to Care

I offer a warm, empathetic, and holistic approach to therapy, helping clients explore belonging and social meaning. My work draws from Adlerian Therapy, EMDR, and the 12-step model to support personal growth and healing.

Why I Do This

I’m committed to helping others discover their authentic selves and live fuller, more meaningful lives.

What a First Session Will Be Like

In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and encouraged as you begin your therapy journey. I aim to create a welcoming space where you feel safe to explore and grow.

Personal Interests

My interests include golfing, playing guitar, and training service dogs—activities that bring joy and purpose to my everyday life. In my earlier years, I volunteered as a Peace Corp Volunteer where I leared to speak Wolof, a West African dialect.
