Hi there!

My clinical specialties include working with adults, and older adults (65+) navigating anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, with a focus on identity exploration and acceptance. I am especially passionate about helping people in high‑intensity emotional fields—like healthcare, veterinary work, and caregiving—reconnect with themselves and find compassion.

​

My philosophy is grounded in the belief that no one should have to face life's challenges alone. I view therapy as a partnership where I walk alongside individuals rather than direct their path. I honor each person as the expert of their own experience and believe that meaningful support begins when people feel genuinely heard and their stories are taken seriously. I strive to create a safe space where individuals feel respected and empowered to show up authentically and decide what moving forward looks like on their own terms.

My therapeutic approach is humanistic and person-centered, meeting each individual within a non-judgmental, anti-oppressive environment. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based and trauma-informed models, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) while also drawing from existential therapy and the search for personal meaning. I believe in the power of art, play, and animal-assisted interventions to support deeper emotional expression and healing. I also value the natural world as a mirror for self-development, using nature-based reflection to help individuals regulate emotions, deepen self-awareness, and strengthen their connection to themselves, others, and the world around them.
