Reaching out for support takes courage, and I am truly glad you are here.

As a counseling intern at Hope Crest, I work with tweens, teens, adults, and families who are navigating stress, bigemotions, life transitions, or moments of feeling stuck or disconnected. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, attention-related concerns, or simply sensing that something needs to shift, you do not have to carry it alone.

My approach is rooted in person-centered care and built on the belief that healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. I strive to create a calm, collaborative space where you can show up as you are, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. We move at your pace, focusing on what feels most meaningful and supportive for you.

Alongside evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I enjoy integrating creative and interest-based tools into therapy. I have a strong interest in creative expressionand geek-affirming therapy, including art-based interventions, creative coping activities, video games, and role-playor tabletop-style experiences when appropriate. These approaches can make therapy feel more engaging and accessible, especially for individuals who find it hard to put feelings into words or who connect more easily through creativity, storytelling, or play.

Before joining Hope Crest, I supported teens in an Intensive Outpatient Program, co-facilitating groups focused on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy relationships. I have also worked in a high school serving students with developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs, and I have experience supporting both children and adults with Autism diagnoses. These experiences continue to shape my commitment to trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming care.

I am currently completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Southern New Hampshire University, with a long-term goal of supporting individuals and families across all stages of life. It is a privilege to be invited into someone’s story, and I would be honored to walk alongside you or your child as you work toward greater understanding, resilience, and connection.
