My Journey
I didn’t always know I wanted to be a therapist. In fact, for a long time, I didn’t know what I wanted to be at all.
When I was 21, my dad died. I survived by not fully letting myself feel it. Then, at 26, my best friend (who was also my boyfriend) died. His death cracked something open in me. Suddenly, years of unresolved grief came rushing to the surface, and I found myself overwhelmed, disoriented, and deeply changed.
In the years that followed, I sought out many forms of therapy. Some were deeply helpful; others felt incomplete. Through that process, I developed a profound compassion for people living with grief, and an understanding that healing was not about getting over what had happened, but learning how to live with it. That realization eventually led me to this work.
My Approach
Grief is the foundation of my practice (the place where everything began) but it is not the only lens through which I work. Over time, grief became a doorway into deeper questions about identity, meaning, connection, and transformation. My work evolved alongside my own relationship with grief, with myself, and with the world.
Earlier in my career, I practiced in more structured, traditional ways, relying heavily on established models and techniques. While those foundations were important, they eventually began to feel limited. Some of the most meaningful moments in therapy weren’t happening within a framework, but in presence, deep listening, and allowing space for uncertainty.
As my own inner work deepened, my approach shifted. I became less focused on fixing or guiding people toward a specific outcome, and more interested in creating space for curiosity, self-trust, and honest exploration. Healing became a relationship we build with ourselves over time, not a problem to solve.
Many people come to me after feeling unseen or constrained in previous therapy, seeking a space that honors complexity, nuance, and the nonlinear nature of healing. Over time, clients often develop a deeper connection to themselves…their values, intuition, and authentic voice. They begin to question old patterns and stories that no longer fit, and cultivate greater self-compassion, resilience, and presence.
I also pay close attention to what is often overlooked: the wisdom of the body, subtle emotional patterns, the impact of neurodiversity, and the deeper questions of meaning that live beneath the surface.
At its core, my work is grounded in the belief that therapy is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to who you already are (and walking alongside you while you do it).
