Being a human being in a complex world isn't easy, and finding your way through it looks different for everyone. As a counseling intern, I want to help you understand your own story and move toward healing, meaning, and a version of yourself that feels more like you. I focus on creating a space that's safe, accepting, and genuinely inclusive — where your identity, background, and relationships are met with respect, not judgment.

I draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Strengths-Based approaches, trauma-focused work, mindfulness, and expressive arts to help clients manage pain, build practical coping skills, and tell more helpful stories about their lives.

As part of Bodhi Counseling & Consulting, I practice within a framework that's unapologetically LGBTQ+-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed. That's not an add-on to how I work — it's the starting point. Good therapy has to meet people where they actually live, not where they're expected to fit, and I want every client to feel that from the first session.

Therapy is a collaboration between me and the client, and I adapt my approach to fit each person's priorities and pace. I want to help clients embrace the full complexity of their lived experience — there's no single right way to be human, and my role is to help you find what works for you.

I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and stress.

I'm a second-year Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working toward licensure as a counseling intern at Bodhi. Cost is often the first barrier standing between someone and the support they need, so I offer sliding scale sessions starting at $10 — making quality care realistic for students, young adults, and anyone without insurance.
