My approach is real, imperfect, warm, and grounded in curiosity, humor, and compassion. In our work together, we'll make space for more honesty, compassion, and choice.

When I think about personal challenges, I often refer to The Wizard of Oz. The lion longed for courage; the scarecrow, a brain; the tin man, a heart; and Dorothy, the feeling of home. At the end of their journeys (spoilers!), each character discovers that their deepest yearnings are also their strongest resources.

I am a relational, compassion-focused student therapist specializing in mindfulness-based and transpersonal counseling.
