I believe counseling provides a space to reconnect with who we are beneath the pain we’ve experienced and to rediscover the beauty and worth that already exist within us. I strive to create an environment that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity and respect, where clients feel seen as whole people rather than problems to be solved.

My approach is rooted in an acceptance-based and existential framework, meaning I see therapy as an exploration of what it means to be human and live authentically in the face of vulnerability and change. Together, we can examine the patterns, beliefs, and protective layers that once helped you cope but may now be contributing to feelings of disconnection or numbness. I also hold a strong interest in the connection between the mind & body and the ways our nervous systems carry the stories of our lived experiences. Drawing from somatic modalities, I aim to help clients build greater awareness of their internal experiences and develop a sense of regulation and safety in their bodies, allowing change to feel more sustainable.

I am currently completing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University, a nationally accredited program, where my training emphasizes ethical, evidence-based care. I am especially interested in working with adults who have experienced trauma or who are exploring questions related to identity, intimacy, or sexuality. More broadly, I feel passionate about supporting people in moving toward lives that feel more whole, embodied, and meaningful, where they can live in ways that feel authentic and aligned with who they are.
