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 trauma, identity, meaning, connection, and the ways life-changing experiences can alter our relationship with ourselves and the world.
Many of the people I work with are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, chronic stress, loss, or major life transitions. Often, something significant has happened, and they no longer feel fully like themselves. They may feel stuck between who they were before an experience and who they are becoming after it. My work focuses on helping people process trauma, integrate loss and change, reconnect with themselves, and move toward meaningful healing.
Earlier in my career, I practiced in more structured and traditional ways, relying heavily on established models and techniques. While those foundations remain important, I came to believe that some of the most meaningful moments in therapy happen through presence, deep listening, nervous system healing, and creating space for uncertainty. Therapy is not about fixing you or pushing you toward a specific outcome. It is about building a relationship with yourself that feels more grounded, honest, and alive.
Today, my work integrates grief and trauma-informed therapy, hypnotherapy, somatic approaches, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) to support healing at both the conscious and subconscious levels. Whether you are navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, or the emotional aftermath of a life-changing experience, therapy can become a space to process what has happened and reconnect with who you are becoming.
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).
