Healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

It happens in relationships, in systems, and in the everyday patterns of our lives.

My work bridges clinical expertise, consultation, and lived experience to support people who are doing meaningful, and often invisible work- whether that’s healing trauma, holding space for others, or raising children differently than they were raised.

When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with my family at home on our farm. I love slow mornings with coffee, getting lost in a good book, and soaking up time playing with our toddler. I love trips to the beach, where everything feels slower and more grounded. I’m also a cheer mom and a college mom- cheering from the sidelines and supporting my kids as they grow into who they’re becoming.
