Great to meet you!

I have 27 years of experience as a therapist and have earned 2 master's degrees in psychology, in transpersonal psych and depth psych. In addition to my private practice, I've worked in clinics, schools, as part of an integrative medicine team, and for a government organization. I'm trauma informed and have advanced training in Brainspotting. I'm also a trained certified psychedelic assisted therapist. I value the relationship that develops between us, and listening to you!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I'm curious, listen to you and value your wisdom. I help by amplifying and examining what you are bringing into therapy, sharing tools as needed, always with warmth and humor. I cultivate creative thinking, and encourage grounding in the present moment. I am always aware of the greater influences of culture and the reality of life in 2025.

What you can expect from our first session

You will feel heard and seen, gain insights and validation, learn tools for navigating your life.
