Here to Help You Heal
As a social work intern, I support people working through relationship issues, anxiety, and depression, as well as those who have experienced trauma or are navigating grief, loss, death and dying, or terminal illness. In our work together, I hope to offer a compassionate space where you can process difficult experiences, make meaning of what you're going through, and find ways to move forward that fit your values and needs. We'll work collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you.
Curiosity and openness are central to how I work, and I believe you are the expert on your own life. Together, we'll explore what matters to you and set goals that feel meaningful.
My Approach to Care
You can expect an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and your feedback helps guide our work. I work from a strengths-based, interpersonal, and trauma-informed approach, drawing on the resources that you already have and paying attention to the relationships that shape your life. My style is warm, curious, and responsive to your unique goals.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
Supporting people close to me through terminal illness led me to this work. Those experiences taught me the value of presence and attunement. I learned to offer care and space for someone's feelings without trying to fix what couldn't be fixed, and to stay grounded alongside others in painful moments. Most of all, I came to honor that each person's journey is their own. These lessons deepened my commitment to helping people feel understood and less alone as they face life's challenges.
Personal Interests
I enjoy yoga, mountain biking, skiing, and entertaining. I'm also an aspiring stand-up comedian and appreciate the connection and perspective humor can bring. As a lifelong learner, I'm especially interested in Buddhism and its teachings on mindfulness and compassion.
