About My Clients
My ideal clients are ready for meaningful change, trying on new perspectives, and a collaborative therapeutic ally in their journey. They may feel disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck in anxious or depressive patterns. Together we will slow things down, untangle complex emotions, and cultivate the self-compassion needed to make choices aligned with the life you want to live.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed therapist who believes that meaningful change begins when we slow down and meet ourselves with curiosity instead of judgment. My path to this work wasn’t linear; I spent fifteen years in a different career before making my own midlife transition to mental health a decade ago. That experience taught me firsthand the courage it takes to reinvent yourself. My clinical foundation was forged in community mental health, where I had the privilege of working with a beautifully diverse cross-section of people—including LGBTQIA+ individuals, neurodivergent folks, elders and other marginalized communities. This rich background has shaped me into a practitioner who values inclusivity, honors identity, and meets every client exactly where they are in their healing journey.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My approach is deeply informed by my lived experience within the LGBTQ+ community, alongside over two decades of immersion in non-dual wisdom traditions, Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism, and indigenous Peruvian plant medicine. These traditions shape my commitment to service, a deep reverence for the diverse ways life unfolds, and a steadfast belief in post-traumatic growth. Additionally, my first career in technology taught me to look beneath the surface with curiosity, a skill I bring into the therapeutic space to help unpack complex, unseen patterns.
