As a therapist, I help you explore the deepest parts of self: who you are, who you want to be, what constrains you, and what sets you free. Together, we map all your amazing parts, thoughts, and beliefs so you understand your own body, mind, and spirit in a new and intimate way. This creates a very solid, strong, and kind relationship with yourself. I help you learn how to journey inside and activate your innate ability to self-heal.

Before being a therapist, many years ago, I was an actor and a singer. This creative energy still runs through me. It shows up in therapy as I get to be in the moment with clients, allowing us to be creative together, to play, to laugh, access imagination, and also, of course, to walk together through the hardest of issues.

Twenty years sitting with people in their darkest places allows me to now hold space for your deepest wounds to heal. I believe our psyche naturally moves towards healing and wholeness. I very intentionally encourage clients to connect with their own wisdom, gut, and heart during our sessions.

I am committed to doing my own work as well, and have found the more freedom I find for myself, the more I’m able to help clients discover their own. My ultimate mission is to help people access love and compassion for themselves- first to help them heal from core wounds and early traumas, but ultimately to be able to embody those ways of being and carry them with them in the world. I find people endlessly fascinating, and walking side by side with someone as they create profound change in their life is wildly exciting and deeply meaningful.

The therapy space is a creative space! It is a place to explore new ways of being, a place where you can safely push the boundaries of the self you have known and the self you want to be. The therapy space can have humor, playfulness, creativity, intellect, deepest healing, and growth. I believe every human has the ability to heal within them. Together, we will set that healing ability into motion. This is ultimately about you being able to find and activate that self-healer and unconditional self-love whenever you need it.

I will guide you in exploring your inner self and unlocking your natural capacity for self-healing.

Several years ago, I stepped into psychedelic therapy myself. I couldn’t have imagined how profoundly it would reshape my life. What I found was a path into healing that touched every layer of who I am—my relationship with myself, the way I connect with loved ones, the joy I feel in my work, and even the way I see the world. It was as if a veil had lifted, and life came alive in new and deeply meaningful ways. I carry immense gratitude for the gifted guide who walked beside me in that process and still does to this day.
