CLINICAL DIRECTOR & FOUNDER

I’m a psychotherapist, Clinical Director, and founder of a practice built on the idea that healing is messy, beautiful, and profoundly human—and that a little humor makes the process a lot easier. My work blends attachment theory, psychodynamic and Freudian insight, Jungian shadow exploration, and existential-humanistic philosophy, all in service of helping people live more meaningful, connected, and authentic lives.

Before I ever called myself a therapist, I was in the Peace Corps in Peru, teaching communities to recycle and manage waste. Yes, I spent my twenties helping people sort trash—who knew that learning to care for the planet could also teach you so much about caring for the human spirit? It was there I discovered yoga, meditation, and somatic practices, eventually teaching yoga and realizing that our bodies often know more than our minds—especially when it comes to anxiety, grief, or figuring out why we can’t find matching socks.

I bring that embodied wisdom into therapy: exploring unconscious patterns, attachment wounds, and the parts of ourselves we hide—while keeping a lightness in the room, because life is hard enough without taking ourselves too seriously.

I believe deeply in equality in the therapy room. I am an equal to every client and clinician who walks through the door. I’ve been in psychoanalysis and therapy for years, and I never plan to stop. I approach this work with curiosity, empathy, and a fascination with the big questions: meaning, identity, purpose, and why we keep making the same mistakes even when we know better.

Why I Created My Practice

I founded my practice because I believe in an alternative reality where:

• Work gives us meaning instead of draining it

• Passion, creativity, and purpose are nourished, not depleted

• Therapists—and clients—can show up fully human, not burnt out

• Everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and spaciousness

This is my life’s work, not just a job. Somehow, I’ve managed to balance it with raising children, nurturing my marriage and best friendship, staying connected to family and community, fighting for mental health advocacy, and caring for the planet—while still remembering where I put my coffee half the time.

What Guides Me

I am endlessly fascinated by the meaning of life, the unconscious mind, philosophy, and the messy, miraculous human experience. I walk beside my clients, equal and curious, helping them explore shadows and strengths, reclaim lost parts of themselves, and build lives that feel authentic, grounded, and fully alive—with room for laughter along the way.

Because here’s the truth: life is hard. But it’s also beautiful, meaningful, and sometimes hilarious—and therapy should be the same.

CLINICIAN & SUPERVISOR

My experience ranges from working with clients navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in meeting you where you are while gently challenging you and exploring connections between past and present experiences in order to foster growth and understanding.

Life can be difficult, messy and also fulfilling. Together we will work through those moments to help you find resilience, strength and empowerment.
