Have you found yourself pondering deeper questions about your life, relationships and beyond? Have you been feeling anxious, feeling stuck, frustrated, struggling with grief or experiencing a life issue you would like to explore with support? I honor the courage and time it takes to seek out the right therapist to navigate such terrains.

I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who brings a holistic, transpersonal and integral lens to my therapeutic work with clients. Collaborative and inquiring, I believe each person holds an innate wisdom which can help guide the session where it is meant to go.

Drawing upon spiritual practices, mindfulness, somatic practices and a trauma informed lens, I help clients explore the various factors impacting their emotional life. I completed my practicum training in a hospice and palliative care clinic, working primarily with loss, grief processing, goal setting, and navigating significant life changes.

I attempt to bring in a strong nurturing and compassionate presence. I find it a privilege to honor the full spectrum of being alive and doing this work.

Please reach out to me if you have any specific questions or would like to get a feel for what it would be like to be working together!
