How I Got Here

I didn't set out planning to become a therapist.

In college, I signed up for an introductory psychology class simply because it looked interesting. At the time, I was studying computer science and had never really considered a career in mental health. But as I took more psychology courses, something clicked. Around that same time, I began my own therapy journey and experienced firsthand how meaningful the process could be.

After graduating, I began working with children and teens through therapeutic behavioral intervention programs. Watching therapists help young people and families navigate difficult seasons confirmed what I already suspected: this was the work I wanted to do. I became increasingly fascinated by relationships, emotional patterns, and the ways people grow when they have the right support.

Since then, I've worked across community mental health, local schools, and private practice. Along the way, I've kept coming back to the same lesson: no two people need the exact same approach. What matters more than any single technique is understanding what's actually going on for you, and building from there.

Today, my goal is simple: to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while we work toward change that actually fits your life.
