We all have a need to be seen and heard – to be met where we are. But far too often, life doesn’t go that way. I believe healing and change occur most effectively within the context of honest, empathetic relationships. For this reason, I prioritize creating an emotionally and relationally safe environment, meeting people with compassion and sincerity. My approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities to help clients gain insight and develop practical tools for growth.

I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Master of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. My journey into counseling was shaped by years of experience in relational, people-centered roles, which deepened my understanding of the challenges individuals face across different life stages and vocations.

I work with individual adults and adolescents aged 16 and up, and I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds. I have a particular heart for those in caregiving roles—including ministry professionals and missionaries—as well as survivors of abuse and trauma, individuals exploring questions of gender and sexuality, and those engaged in the arts.

Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, I’ve also lived in Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, and New York City before settling in St. Louis in 2020. I hold an undergraduate degree in Music (Vocal Performance) and continue to sing professionally with local choral ensembles. Outside of counseling, I enjoy exploring St. Louis’ parks, trying out new bakeries and coffee shops, and spending time with friends.
