About Me
My approach to therapy is dynamic, humanistic, and always evolving. I don’t subscribe to a single method or theory—instead, I see every session as unique. As humans, we’re always changing, and each day brings new joys and challenges. I will meet you where you are, and support you based on your own goals and desires, so that you can move toward meaningful and lasting change.
​
Contrary to popular belief, therapists don’t become skilled through education alone. To sit with someone in their deepest grief or greatest joy often requires that we have walked through our own. My life has taken me through challenges that have shaped my compassion, patience, and integrity. I’ve known heartbreak, rage and injustice and have found healing in unexpected places. In my early adulthood, I found powerful tools for self-exploration through yoga, meditation, and psychedelics. I began exploring alternative relationship styles and experienced my true capacity to love and be loved. I also spent many years as a support worker for people with disabilities—work that deepened my understanding of human rights and refined my ability to listen, communicate, and care. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: building a strong, compassionate relationship with ourselves is one of the most powerful tools for living a fulfilled life.
Outside of my work with clients, you’ll often find me in nature—camping, foraging, and exploring. I’m currently learning traditional Gaelic and Irish folk music as a way of reconnecting with my ancestry. I also love to dance, dream, and create small community gatherings. My work feeds my life, and my life, in turn, nourishes my work. Personal growth and spiritual exploration are ongoing parts of my journey, and I’m committed to living a soulful, meaningful life—just as I support others in doing the same.

My Philosophy
Some might describe my work as spacious. I let the direction of our time together unfold organically, trusting that what needs to emerge will. I leave room for you to guide the process, bringing forward what feels most alive or important. When needed, I offer guidance, reflections or gently illuminate patterns or questions that may be just below the surface.
If setting goals and working toward specific outcomes is important to you, we can absolutely explore those together. That said, my approach often leans toward examining the emotional undercurrents, the deeper backstory of your life, and creating space for what may have been stuck or unspoken for a long time. I work best with people who are motivated to explore the deeper dimensions of their challenges and the meaning behind them—especially those navigating shame, grief, or inner conflict.
My work is grounded in an attachment-based lens, which means I pay close attention to how early relationships may have shaped your sense of self, love, safety, and belonging. This includes beliefs you may have inherited without questioning them, or formative experiences that still carry emotional weight today. I also draw on narrative therapy to help clients re-author internal stories that no longer serve them, and use parts work to explore and integrate the more complex, conflicted, or protective aspects of the self. My overall approach is humanistic and existential, influenced by the work of thinkers like Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Bill Plotkin, and Francis Weller—people who speak to the soulful, archetypal nature of healing.
At its core, my philosophy is simple: healing happens when we feel safe enough to tell the truth, slow down, and reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with the parts of us we may have left behind.
