My desire to become a therapist began long before I was aware of it. As a freshman in college, I was overwhelmed by the stress of engineering coursework and desperately wanted a way to manage it. My high school philosophy classes had introduced me to meditation, so I decided to give it a try in hopes of easing the constant pressure I was putting on myself.

As I continued meditating and learned to navigate my own mental health struggles, mindfulness became a much bigger part of my life. I eventually found my way to Buddhist philosophy and realized that what felt most meaningful to me was both being held in my own suffering and learning how to hold others in theirs. Once I recognized that, I knew I needed to change career paths.

Rather than helping the world by cleaning water through my degree in Biological Systems Engineering, I chose to become a therapist. Now, I have the privilege of sitting with people in their pain, listening with presence, and supporting individuals and couples as they reconnect with their own healing and inherent wholeness.

I earned my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2021, and today I work with individuals and couples by blending theories of neurobiology and counseling, attachment theory, Indigenous healing practices, Eastern philosophy, and a warm, humanistic lens.

I don’t pretend to have the answers, but I’m here to help you listen to your own or to each other, offering support, curiosity, and powerful therapeutic tools as you navigate your path. My goal is to create a space and relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and empowering; an environment where individuals and couples can be fully seen, heal from trauma, repair disconnection, and grow new ways of relating to themselves and one another.
