My initiation into healing began early, through profound experiences of illness, loss, and the unraveling that can accompany the challenges of being human. These experiences shaped a deep sensitivity to suffering, healing, and the unseen dimensions of life, while also awakening an awareness of the world as deeply alive and relational. From a young age, I sensed a connection to the spirit and intelligence within nature that often felt difficult to name or explain.

As I began to more consciously engage this path of healing, I was drawn to clinical training as a way of deepening my capacity to sit with suffering in a grounded and skillful way. Over the past 17 years, my work in mental and behavioral health has included specialized training and experience with complex and pervasive trauma, relational and couples work, crisis response and counseling, somatic therapies, as well as nature- and adventure-based therapy. These modalities offered both structure and depth, shaping my understanding of what it means to support healing in ways that are embodied, relational, and responsive to the realities of the human experience.

My time as a Therapist has unfolded alongside decades of exploration, apprenticeship, and practice rooted in ancestral ways of knowing, healing, and relating to the world. While my work began within a more clinical framework, over time it became clear that at the root of much of our suffering is a deeper disconnection from ourselves, one another, the wisdom of those who came before us, and the more-than-human world. I have come to believe that deeper healing becomes possible through remembering and restoring these relationships.

As a practitioner, my work has unfolded into a more holistic and psycho-spiritual orientation, one grounded not only in tending suffering, but in remembering belonging, restoring connection, and deepening relationship with what is sacred.
