About Me!

I am a Master of Social Work student, working toward becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My passion for mental health was born from my own life experiences and a deep desire to help others heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.

I believe that healing is a unique personal journey. It looks different for everyone, and there’s no one “right” way to feel whole. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, or just trying to find balance in your day-to-day life—I’m here to support you, just as you are.

My Philosophy

I believe in healing that nurtures the mind, body, spirit, and the world around us.

Mental health isn’t just about what’s going on internally—it’s also shaped by the systems we live in, the communities we belong to, and the environments we move through. That’s why my approach blends traditional mental health support with holistic practices and a deep commitment to social justice.

I strive to create a space that feels safe, affirming, and empowering. Whether we’re working one-on-one or building something bigger together, I walk with you—not ahead of you—on your journey to healing, growth, and meaningful change.
