I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Lewis & Clark College in 2018, following a year-long internship at Mindful Experiential Therapeutic Approaches (M.E.T.A.) in Portland, focusing on Hakomi and body-centered psychotherapy. Before that, a Bachelor's in Anthropology and years of travel left me endlessly curious about how people make sense of their inner and outer worlds.

My path to counseling began in the body — I ran an integrative bodywork practice in massage, Craniosacral Therapy, and therapeutic yoga, focused on healing trauma through the connection between mind and body, and training in yogic traditions in the mountains of Northern India. That foundation still shapes how I practice today: I draw heavily on Hakomi, and on the work of Stephen Porges and Peter Levine, whose research on the nervous system and trauma grounds much of my approach.

I hold deep respect for the wounds each of us carries, and just as much respect for the resilience that helps us navigate the world as we carry them. My work holds both at once — radical acceptance for who you are right now, and real belief in your capacity to change.

When not in the office, I can be found traipsing around in the woods with my son, seeking out large bodies of water, and drinking copious amounts of tea. I am really good at deep belly laughs and making mistakes. I make it a practice to let life humble me as often as possible, and to remember to have a sense of humor about it all.
