About Me

My path to becoming a therapist began on the other side of the room - as a client. Through that experience, I learned firsthand how a genuine, secure, and validating relationship can foster healing, self-trust, and insight. From then on, I knew I wanted to offer that same kind of connection to others.
My style is conversational, warm, and relaxed. I show up authentically in each session - not as an expert or guide - but as a real person walking alongside you. Sometimes that looks like discussing current events, sharing pictures of our cats, or talking about music; other times it means speaking about parts of my own struggles to deepen connection and shared understanding.
I find it so important that therapy be flexible and fit whatever each person needs on a given day. Sometimes that may be debriefing the week and discussing the high points of life, other times it might be processing trauma and feeling big emotions. I don’t impose agenda’s, specific “must do’s,” homework, or timelines.
At its core, my work is about creating space - space to feel, reflect, and untangle the patterns that keep us stuck. I love supporting people as they learn new ways of relating to themselves and the world around them. If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect.

When I’m not in the office, I’m a pretty big homebody. I live with my partner, Jeff, our dog, Pico, and our three cats Tuna, Greta, and Tommy. Jeff is a firefighter, so our schedule looks a bit different week to week.
A lot of my time at home is spent listening to music, reading under our carport, or binge watching TV shows. I’m a big fan of comedy, gripping dramas, and true crime. I also have picked up the guitar over the last year and I try to play for at least a few hours each week.
When I do step out, I enjoy taking Pico for walks or going to the gym. I spent the last year transitioning from powerlifting to running, but now I’m in a period of just moving mindfully. I was born and raised in the Pensacola area, aside from one winter spent living in a Colorado ski town, and as a typical local, I love spending time at the beach and in the water.
