My path into this work has taken me through many different clinical settings. I began in an adult inpatient psychiatric hospital, where I worked with individuals navigating mood disorders, psychosis, personality struggles, and the lasting impact of trauma. Later, in medical hospitals and emergency rooms, I accompanied patients and families facing life-changing diagnoses, sudden losses, and long recoveries. These years taught me how suffering shows up in many forms — but also how resilience, meaning, and transformation can emerge in the most unexpected places.

Today, in private practice, I bring that breadth of experience into focused, one-on-one work with adults. My hope is to create a steady, reflective space where you can explore both past and present struggles, shifting identities, and the possibilities of what has yet to be lived.
