My path to becoming a therapist began with studying Social Work, where I learned to understand individuals within the context of their environments. I became deeply interested in how our bodies, relationships, families, and communities shape our mental and emotional well-being. While this perspective felt meaningful, I also found myself wondering about something that was often missing from the conversation: the role of the natural world in our healing.

​

This curiosity led me to spend several years working in sustainable agriculture on small-scale vegetable and medicinal herb farms. During that time, I developed a deep relationship with the land and the plants. I began to see how closely nature mirrors human life — resilience, growth, loss, adaptation, and renewal are all present in the rhythms of the natural world. That experience helped shape the foundation of my work today.

​

I later pursued formal training in herbal medicine through the Twin Star School of Herbal Medicine, where I received my certificate in Community Herbalism.

​

Alongside this training, my clinical experience has included work in intimate partner violence support, school counseling, low-income resource programs, and hospice and medical grief counseling. These experiences continue to inform my approach and deepen my commitment to meeting people with compassion and respect for the complexity of their lives.

​

Today, my work integrates these different threads — psychotherapy, connection to the natural world, and a holistic view of well-being. I strive to offer a supportive space where healing can unfold in a way that honors the mind, body, and the environments we are part of.

​

Outside of my clinical work, I continue to stay connected to the natural world through gardening, working with plants, and hiking, and camping. These practices remind me of the many ways growth and healing happen slowly and organically, and they continue to shape how I approach this work.

​

If you’re considering therapy, I know reaching out can sometimes feel like a vulnerable first step. My hope is to offer a space where you feel welcomed, supported, and able to explore whatever you are carrying at your own pace.

I am currently practicing with an associate license under the supervision of a fully licensed clinician.
