As a trauma-informed therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where students feel heard and understood. I believe healing and growth happen through trust, empathy, and collaboration. I work with students navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions, helping them build on their strengths and develop skills to support their well-being. My approach is compassionate and tailored to each individual’s needs. Using evidence-based practices such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT, I support students in building resilience, improving emotional regulation, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

I am a master's-level clinician with a Master's of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College. I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a strong background and experience working with adolescents, families, and students in school-based settings. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in a passion for guiding individuals toward personal growth, self-discovery, and empowerment. Driven by a lifelong passion for helping individuals—especially adolescents and young adults—navigate life’s challenges, I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore their identities, embrace their strengths, and grow into the best version of themselves. Over the years, I have supported adolescents and families through various challenges, helping them build resilience, improve communication, and develop healthier coping strategies. I believe that true growth and personal power come from within. My approach to counseling is solution-focused, strengths-based, and client-centered, and I encourage individuals to explore their strengths and resources while working collaboratively to identify solutions to their challenges. I strive to create a safe and affirming space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported in their journey. I'm excited to support you on your path and witness the strength you possess from within.

I work with people who struggle with significant emotional and behavioral issues that cause them to feel disconnected from others. The people I work with often begin therapy feeling confused and hopeless about how they feel and behave in their closest relationships. They may understand something is wrong, that they are not living the life they want and having the type of relationships they long for, but nothing they find online or in self-help books seems to get to the core of what they're experiencing. They feel its time to start exploring themselves more personally with a professional. For over a decade I have worked with people in both short- and long-term therapy to explore and overcome complex emotional issues. To orient myself in this work, I utilize Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which focuses on making sense of deeper, more systemic struggles, issues that often stem from early relational trauma. If you are tired of trying to deny the emotional turmoil you feel in both your life and in your relationships, I encourage you to reach out to me. I have significant experience working with people who come from very difficult upbringings. I have helped them find meaning in adulthood and have gratitude for the life they now live. Healing is possible.

I work collaboratively with students who face a variety of challenges, including life transitions, relationship issues, and navigating queer identities. College and graduate school typically occur at pivotal developmental points for people in terms of figuring out who they are, what they want, and separating/individuating from parental figures. Together, we will work to understand your inner life, what works and what doesn't in terms of your thinking, behavior and ways of relating to others. Often, patterns develop that help us stay safe and secure when we're young, but would benefit from re-examination and modification to live a more fulfilling adult life. I have a sub-specialty working with people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a highly distressing fixation on a perceived appearance defect that can impact daily functioning and quality of life. I help you understand where the appearance fixation originated, including negative self appraisals and rituals/compulsions that accompany BDD. Learning to face feared and avoided situations is a gradual process that takes place over time, freeing you from the hold of BDD and leading to improved functioning and a more satisfying life.

At Spark the Change we whole-heartedly believe people can make changes to improve daily functioning, manage stress , and become their authentic selves. Let us help you on your journey and spark the change! "Change the way you look at things & the things you look at change" Wayne W. Dyer

I've been working with young adults for the better part of the last decade within the context of their homes, schools, communities and families. I have also been supervising young adults as well as older adults in juggling school work and family with their career ambitions. Fostering growth for these folks, including in many marginalized communities is, to me, an incredibly important part of building lives worth living, and growing the strength of our communities. As a white cis-gendered queer therapist I have done my own work on my identity that has allowed me to see and show up for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks, as well as supporting other white folks in this work. My practice is rooted in anti-racism, anti-oppression, and health equity. Our mental health is not only our individual biologies and brains, we are shaped by the systems we exist within and this has a direct correlation to our physical well being as well. What you need in therapy may or may not relate to issues of oppression, and it is important for those for whom this is relevant to know there is a space to been seen and acknowledged for the ways this impacts your life. Growth and transitions can be incredible, and also very stressful. If anything you've read here or seen in my profile resonates. I would encourage you to reach out to see if we would be a good fit for the support you are seeking.
