What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?

My personal journey navigating neurodivergence and anxiety and my transformative experience in my own therapy. I also discovered the intrigue of "ecopsychology" - or the scientific field related to our connection with nature. After years of work in the environmental field, I realized I could help others connect these pieces (mental health and nature), find peace and healing, and reconnect with the natural world.

What are your biggest strengths as a therapist?

I am flexible, relatable, authentic, and curious. I am always seeking new trainings and information to improve my work as a counselor and aid my clients with specific concerns. I am non-judgmental and open, and while I bring training, experience, and tools to aid my clients in their healing journey, I don't pretend to be an expert or always know what is best for you. I prioritize your autonomy and the collaborative nature of our relationship.
