Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and substance use services, and have a postgraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. I work with adults, with a particular passion for supporting women, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC individuals, as well as those navigating post-psychedelic integration.

Our therapeutic partnership begins with the understanding that you are a whole person — not a diagnosis, a symptom, or a set of circumstances. Together, we will explore how the intersections of identity, lived experience, trauma, mental health, and substance use shape your inner world and outer life across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in integrative health principles: drawing from the best of evidence-informed modalities, honoring the mind-body connection, and adapting to what is most meaningful and effective for you. I work from harm-reduction and culturally affirming frameworks, and my clinical background spans emergency departments, inpatient units, community mental health, and residential substance use rehabilitation — settings that have deepened my respect for human resilience in its many forms.

Therapeutically, I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, attachment-based approaches, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, and Seeking Safety — weaving together what serves your healing at each stage of the journey.

What you can expect from me

Healing is rarely linear, and no two paths look the same. Whether you are navigating life transitions, identity, career, recovery, relationship challenges, or the afterglow and aftermath of a profound inner experience, I will meet you where you are — with curiosity, compassion, and care.

Life is a treasure hunt. Let's follow the clues!
