Approach:
My focus is helping people find healing and identify their inner strengths. I do that by creating a safe, neutral space where you feel comfortable enough to explore what's really going on, listening closely, identifying the rooted issues, and processing them in a way that fosters real growth. I draw from a range of approaches including CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed methods, and I bring those same principles into the way I support the clinicians I supervise.
My Role at Insight:
I serve as the Clinical Supervisor for our team of associate therapists. While I'm not seeing clients directly through Insight Counseling Center, I'm closely involved in the quality of care every client receives. I provide ongoing clinical guidance, support, and consultation so our associates can show up fully prepared, ethically grounded, and genuinely effective in every session.
How I can help:
I'm LGBTQ-affirming and open-minded to all walks of life and relationship choices. I don't believe in judgment, and the work I support is rooted in that same spirit. My focus is on relational systems, mindfulness in our choices, and identifying the generational patterns that quietly shape how we behave, react, and relate. The goal is always to help people grow through their struggles, challenge unhelpful patterns, heal from past pain, and move forward with clarity.
What my clients say about working with me:
That I'm calm and steady without being passive. That they feel heard in a way they haven't before. That I bring enough warmth to make them feel safe and enough honesty to help them actually grow. And that sessions with me feel like talking to someone who genuinely cares and isn't just going through the motions.
Off the clock:
When I'm not supervising or working clinically, you'll find me running my creative ventures, exploring new projects, and spending time in the corners of life that bring me joy outside of the work.
