My Approach
Are you seeking more meaning, relief, or connection?
Do you want things to change but you're not sure how?
If you're experiencing distressing emotions or feeling stuck, we can work together to discover a new path forward. I practice from a holistic perspective, meaning I consider all aspects of health and wellbeing as well as how they intersect. I meet clients where they're at, encouraging acceptance of emotions and helping them find more moments of peace. I also support clients in de-conditioning from harmful narratives or beliefs by practicing non-attachment and re-wiring neurological pathways. My approach is gentle yet persistent. Let's discover who you are in the process of becoming.
Therapy is a powerful commitment to your health and wellbeing. It sets a conscious intention to prioritize your needs and explore your dreams.
I meet with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, wherever they're at in their healing journey. This includes supporting children with creative expression and play therapy, helping adolescents navigate identity development and societal challenges, & guiding adults in finding greater alignment and peace. As a trained death doula, I also guide end-of-life planning and support clients with spiritual concerns or death anxiety.
I welcome clients to engage in:
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
-
somatic experiencing and emotional processing
-
mindfulness-based CBT
-
transpersonal and dream analysis
-
narrative therapy
-
nature immersion
-
play therapy
With a foundation in Existential Psychology, I am open to the full range of human experiences and can adapt my approach based on your unique interests and needs. The focus of sessions may vary from deeply personal wounding to the broader reaching implications of intergenerational, societal, cultural, and environmental crises. We may explore complex topics such as identity, trauma, relationships, fear, grief, or spirituality. Healing is not an easy or linear process. There will likely be many obstacles and challenges along the way. Together we can develop the curiosity, courage, and trust necessary to endure and grow.
I'm here for you.

About Me
I began my career in environmental activism; working alongside inspiring communities advocating for healthier and more sustainable lifestyles. I also recognized the dire nature of our predicament and the severe impact it had on the mental health of myself and fellow activists, especially youth. This inspired me to complete a psychology graduate program where I explored therapy from existential, systemic, intergenerational, humanistic, and holistic perspectives. Rather than focusing on diagnosing and prescribing, I strive to offer clients a uniquely individual and empowering experience.
Spending time in nature has been my most reliable and powerful form of therapy. This is why I offer clients the option to conduct our sessions outdoors, benefiting from the natural healing and nervous system regulation that nature provides. I have also gained many incredible insights from books and films. Bibliotherapy, poetry in particular, has been a source of comfort and strength throughout my own healing journey. Some of my favorite books are featured in the resources tab.
