I was raised in a military family and feel like I “grew up all over but I am not from anywhere”. After completing a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail I decided to begin a private practice to better fit with my adventurous spirit. I go to nature to feel at peace, to get back in rhythm with my inner self, and to listen to the wisdom that is there.

The therapy process is one of the most beautiful things I am privileged to witness and hold space for in this life. I believe we all have an internal compass pointing us north if we quiet ourselves and learn to listen to what our mind and body are telling us. However, it’s easy to lose our way. But I believe that if you woke up this morning there is still hope and your journey is not over. Healing comes when we feel safe and learn how to be vulnerable with ourselves and in connection with safe people. Your journey is beautiful because it’s yours. I want you to find your happiness and what brings you peace in whatever way that means to you. I will provide the safe place for you to explore and walk with you as your teammate along the way. I am not afraid of the “dark tunnels”. We will both have our flashlights, and we will be there together.

As a trauma survivor myself, I found my way to the field as I learned to hold space for my own pain. I have been a client and experienced the fear of change and the therapy space, “Can this person handle what I am about to tell them?”, “Will they think I am crazy?”, “Will they judge me?”, “What will happen if it gets scary?”. But I can tell you it is worth it because you are worth it. We will go at your pace and I will teach you how to tolerate the discomfort we will find. In those spaces of our scary and pain is growth and potential for exciting things to happen. Stay curious and stay open, we’ve got this.

BIPOC and LGBTQIA folks feel free to ask any questions you need about my stance on systems of oppression or how I work to mitigate power differentials in therapeutic relationships. I am passionate about you feeling safe in the room with me. As a cisgender white therapist, I acknowledge my privilege and actively work to ensure you will feel empowered and understood in our partnership.
