I’ve been touched by the journeys of others, moral beauty, and the existential questions posed throughout time by poets, philosophers, and those who’ve found themselves crossing into the mystery of what is not yet known. I bring this expansive curiosity and openness into the therapeutic process. It’s a different approach from the pathologizing medical model of traditional talk therapy, as the focus is on “aliveness” rather than diagnosis. You are not broken. You’ve had to learn to survive. I honor that.

Like most therapists, I was called into this work through a wound. From a tender age, I felt the loneliness of abandonment and the grief of the unhealed generational trauma of my lineage. An early encounter with a book on Eastern philosophy exposed me to an alternate theory of the world. Through self-discovery, I have learned to tend to the faint whispers that have guided me into a deeper understanding of the world and my vocation.

My healing journey hasn’t been linear. Along my path, teachers emerged: some of them taught me to love, others challenged my defenses—leaving me to sort through my grief and confusion—while others modeled lives authentically lived. Each a gift. Becoming whole has been a humbling endeavor. As a psychotherapist, I bring this reverence into the relationship as a lamp-holder so you can begin to see your way through the dark places and return again to the extraordinary light of your Being.

Trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I create the relational safety that’s needed for you to catch and weave together the essential threads that will lead you back home to yourself. I draw inspiration widely from shamanic and mystical traditions, philosophy, the sciences, and the transcendent wisdom of artists, writers, and the wonderment of the natural world.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” —Jalaluddin Rumi
