FROM RUPTURE TO ROOTEDNESS
A little about the person behind the practice.
I’m a clinical social worker, and I believe therapy should make room for complexity. My work is shaped by my own experiences, my love for nature, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to be real.
When the life I imagined began to unravel.
After years of trying to grow our family, infertility changed everything. It brought grief, uncertainty, and a deep sense of disconnection, not only from my future, but myself. In the midst of that season, I found support, and it changed the course of my life. It reminded me how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and supported.
Around the same time, I started planting more native plants in my yard. What began as a small act of tending slowly became part of my healing.
The garden taught me that healing cannot be forced.
It requires the right conditions.
As I nurtured my garden, butterflies returned. Birds appeared. Life gathered again. Watching native plants push through cracks, adapt to changing seasons, and bloom in unexpected places reminded me that growth isn’t linear. It’s messy, resilient, and often happens in the dark.
And within me, something began returning too.
I started to reconnect with the parts of myself I had quieted - the sensitive, the strange, the angry, the creative, the exhausted. Those parts weren’t problems to fix, but signals to listen to. That journey back to myself shaped the way I show up as a therapist. I know what it’s like to feel different, to carry a lot, and to still long for a deeper sense of rootedness.
MY APPROACH
A practice rooted in nature and intention.
NATURE-BASED
As a nature based practitioner, I value living with the seasons and honoring the cycles of growth, grief, rest, and renewal that are part of being human.
DIALECTAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY
Integrates four core frameworks: mindfulness to build awareness, distress tolerance to manage crises, emotion regulation to navigate intense feelings, and interpersonal effectiveness to strengthen relationships while maintaining self-respect and healthy boundaries.
TRAUMA-FOCUSED CBT
Helps clients process traumatic experiences through emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring, and relational safety. In our work together, healing unfolds through trust, collaboration, and developing healthier connections to self and others.
EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY
Assists couples identify negative interaction cycles, deepen emotional connection, and strengthen attachment bonds. Through relational work, partners learn to communicate vulnerably, rebuild trust, and create greater safety, responsiveness, and intimacy within their relationship.
It’s not about the quantity, but the quality of years we spend on Earth.
More intention, Less perfection.
I show up with authenticity, care, and a deep belief in the power of sustainable change - not just for you, but for your relationships, your community, and the world we share. Therapy is one part of that. It’s away to live more fully, more honestly, and more in alignment with what actually matters to you.
