About My Clients

Have you found yourself feeling hopeless, anxious, or lost? Are you facing a big life transition or simply feeling disconnected from your own life? Are you finding this whole “adulting” thing difficult to navigate? If you identify with any of these experiences, let’s face these challenges together and work to better understand how our emotions can guide our experiences. I value a holistic approach to aid in discovering your most authentic self as well as supporting you "living your best life."

My Background and Approach

I utilize a trauma-informed and mindfulness-based approach to therapy. I value viewing individuals as a whole made of many parts, where we focus on the different parts of us that make us who we are. Each part of us serves a purpose and together we can work to understand them! I aim to foster an empowering, compassionate, and safe environment for each individual I work with. I am a Social Work Trainee (SWT) under supervision of Krystal Gesicki, MSSA, LISW-S, LICDC-GAMB, CCTP.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I love integrating my knowledge and passion for neuroscience into sessions, as well as my love for yoga, coffee, art, and reading. I spend a lot of my time hanging out and exploring the world with family, friends, and my beloved dog, Poet. Bring your coffee, bring your dogs, bring your authentic self, and let’s chat! I look forward to navigating this journey together.
