I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, educator, and founder of Affinity Counseling and Affinity Pathfinder.

My work is shaped by a lifelong curiosity about how people survive, adapt, and make meaning in difficult systems—and how often sensitive, thoughtful people are misunderstood in the process.

Through my own experiences, global travel, creative work in theatre, and years of clinical practice, I learned that many people are not broken. They are overwhelmed, misattuned to, or carrying more than anyone was meant to carry alone.

I bring this understanding into every therapeutic relationship. My approach centers nervous system safety, honest relationship, and deep respect for each person’s story.

I am especially committed to creating spaces where people who feel unsafe in their own minds, bodies, or relationships can begin to feel grounded, worthy, and at home in themselves again.

Being a therapist, for me, is not about having answers. It is about showing up with presence, humility, and care—and continually returning to my own grounded center so I can offer that steadiness to others.

I consider it a privilege to witness my clients’ courage, resilience, and growth.
