I spent many years working in the music industry, nonprofit organizations, and various forms of customer service. Along the way, I discovered that solo travel, advocacy, writing, and fandom could become their own forms of therapy—ways of making meaning, finding connection, and returning to myself. My eclectic life experiences have taught me a great deal about complexity, radical self-love, community, resilience, meaning-making, and the importance of prioritizing joy.

Through those lived experiences, I found myself drawn to becoming a therapist—or, in the words of Gloria Steinem, a kind of “celestial bartender”: a traveling feminist and universal confidant who helps people feel seen, heard, and empowered to share their stories. It was my experiences working in music that led me to want to advocate for mental health care within the music industry. I love helping people—especially creatives and those who have often felt like outsiders—live well, live fully, and live in alignment with who they are and who they want to become.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, collaborative, creative, and grounded in curiosity, humor, and authenticity. I draw from Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), expressive arts, parts work (IFS), mindfulness, Jungian psychology (dream work, shadow work, myths, archetypes), Astrology-Assisted Therapy (AAT), pleasure activism, and liberation psychology. I love weaving art and creativity into the therapeutic process through journaling, music, storytelling, tarot, and bibliotherapy.

I believe the stories we carry—and the stories we choose to reshape—can profoundly influence how we heal, understand ourselves, and create meaning. Our stories encode how we move through the world, how we heal, and how we navigate the different seasons of our lives. Therapy can be a space to examine those stories with curiosity, reclaim the parts of ourselves that may have been lost or silenced, and imagine new possibilities for who we can become.

I am especially passionate about working with creatives, music industry professionals, activists, people exploring alternative lifestyles, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and neurodivergent clients. Many of my clients are exploring identity and sense of self, reclaiming their power and intuition, rebuilding or creating self-care rituals and grounding practices, reconnecting with their creative process, healing from harmful or limiting narratives, or navigating the intensity of being deeply sensitive or highly expressive.

I welcome clients who are drawn to fandom, alternative lifestyles, and non-traditional or nature-based spiritualities as meaningful parts of their personal journey. I believe therapy should make room for the things that bring us wonder, joy, meaning, and a sense of belonging.

Outside of therapy, I am a music fan, traveler, writer, reader, astrology and tarot enthusiast, and unapologetic fangirl.
