In my eight years working in the counseling field, I have found curiosity and passion for the exploration of each person's way of making meaning and sense of the world, to be a constant through-line.

I have spent several years working as a substance abuse counselor, wilderness therapy field guide, and a psychiatric inpatient behavioral health specialist, with children, adolescents, and adults. 

In my years working outside it was clear to me that simply “being” and “doing” in that setting had a way of analogizing the human experience in ways that encouraged therapeutic growth.

I try to facilitate this process indoors through a focus on emotion and meaning, reflection of interpersonal and personal dynamics, and empathic connection. Grounded in a psychodynamic and client centered approach, I strive to stand beside clients as they navigate their own lives.
