I love working with a variety of guests and skin concerns. I especially enjoy working with those who trust my professional guidance and recommendations. Building meaningful, one-on-one relationships is something I truly cherish.

I am an Advanced Practice Esthetician with 23 years of experience and a loyal community of returning guests. I’m known for creating a calm, relaxing environment while delivering exceptional, results-driven treatments. I am certified in Lash Lifts, Brow Laminations, Dermaplaning, Barbicide, Lash Bomb, Elleebana, and PCA Peels. I am committed to continued education and will never stop learning.

Guests appreciate the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere I create and the consistently personalized facials they receive. I take the time to understand their skin, their concerns, and their goals so every service feels thoughtful, customized, and cared for.
