“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.”— Mary Oliver

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 15 years working in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. That background still shapes how I understand mental health – through biology, the nervous system, and the environments we grow up in.

At the same time, I’ve always been someone who asks deeper questions – about meaning, connection, and how we come to be who we are.

Like many of the women I work with, I’ve been drawn to both science and something beyond it. Over the years, I’ve explored different ways of understanding myself – through both structured training and personal experience. This has included time in women’s groups and retreats, working with teachers and practitioners, and engaging with both body-based and intuitive practices. Some of it felt grounding, some of it pushed me outside my comfort zone – but it all shaped how I understand myself and others.

What I came to understand is that there isn’t just one way to make sense of ourselves. We come to know who we are through many lenses - science, lived experience, the body, and the patterns we begin to notice over time.

That perspective shapes how I work.

I don’t see what you’re struggling with as something that needs to be fixed, but as something that makes sense – once we understand where it came from and what it’s trying to show you. When we take the time to really look at it, things begin to shift – not by forcing change, but by seeing yourself more clearly and with more compassion.

Sessions are a space to slow down, get honest, and rebuild a more trusting relationship with yourself – your thoughts, your body, and your voice.

At times, I may incorporate reflective tools like journaling or symbolic practices such as tarot, when they feel useful – offering another way to explore what’s coming up and deepen insight. Over time, things start to come together in a way that feels more clear, steady, and your own.

I am committed to providing an inclusive, affirming space for clients of all identities, including LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and those from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds. This work is grounded in respect, curiosity, and an understanding of how larger systems and lived experiences shape mental health.
