ABOUT ME

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who believes therapy works best when it feels both grounded and alive. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of the complexity of being human.

I draw from evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches, while also weaving in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and nature-informed perspectives. I’m especially drawn to work that honors your story through symbolism and the ways we carry our histories in our bodies and relationships. Therapy, to me, is both practical and reflective: a place to build insight and make real, sustainable change.

I strive to create a space that feels safe, curious, and nonjudgmental, and where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything figured out. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, patterns that no longer serve you, or simply a sense that something feels “off,” we’ll move at a pace that feels respectful and attuned to you.

When I am at home, I enjoy cooking, foraging, hiking with my sweet dog, and struggling to learn how to play the guitar. I consider myself a student of life and love to learn. I have trained in Clinical Western Herbalism and Craniosacral Therapy, and have worked as a teacher and a nutrition educator at various points in my career. I strive to walk the walk as much as talk the talk, and I enjoy incorporating my interests and life experience into my practice.

I am practicing under the supervision of Diane Smith, LPC, License #C7279

WORK WITH ME

  • "Anyone, no matter their history, can begin to hear wholeness beckoning, whether in a shout or whisper, and resolve to move in its direction. With the heart as a guide and the mind as a willing and curious partner, we follow whatever path most resonates with that call."

    — Gabor Maté, MD, The Myth of Normal

  • "Not inner work first, then outer work later. Not self-care first, then care for the world afterward. Rather, our freedom, our unfettered liberation from suffering together. Only together. Only and always together."

    — Joanna Macy, forward to Heart Medicine

  • "Healing cannot occur if we do not accept our worthiness-- that we are worth healing, even if doing so might shake up our view of the world and how we interact with others."

    — Mario Martinez, Psy.D, The MindBody Code

  • "My life has not been about fixing what is broken. It has been about engaging in a loving and tender archaeological dig back to my true self."
