Rooted in Compassion. Guided by Experience.
I believe healing happens in relationships—whether that’s with a therapist, a parent, or an entire team.
Whether you're here looking for a therapist or a consultant, you're likely carrying a lot. You might be navigating stress, burnout, or identity shifts—or trying to support others who are.
My work is about helping people and systems move through these challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Ambassador
I’m Snickers, a retired therapy dog who spent years supporting kids and teens during their counseling sessions. I was known for my calming presence, unconditional acceptance, and love of belly rubs. These days, I’ve transitioned into a new role: spreading joy and simple reminders about taking care of our mental health.

Why This Work Matters to Me
I’ve sat in the therapy chair. I’ve led teams during crises. I’ve been the burned-out caregiver, the stuck professional, the person trying to do it all.
This work is personal—and it’s also deeply professional. I believe in showing up with heart, humor, and humanity every time.

My work is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and collaborative. Therapy with me is direct but compassionate, grounded in evidence-based practices and adapted to your unique needs. No fluff—just real tools, thoughtful insight, and space to be fully seen.
