At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the innate capacity of human beings to heal, grow, and transform. My approach to therapy is relational, experiential, and integrative. I believe that many of our deepest wounds occur in relationship, and that healing, too, happens through connection—with ourselves (including our bodies), with others, and with something larger than ourselves.

 
 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Columbia, South Carolina. My original training is in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my work now focuses primarily on Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work, and nervous system repair through somatic approaches.

My clinical work is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work, mindfulness practices, existential psychology, hypnosis, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. I have a particular interest in working with highly sensitive individuals, those navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, spiritual exploration, trauma, and questions of identity and purpose. I often incorporate dream exploration, intuition, and the wisdom of the body into the therapeutic process when these approaches resonate with a client's values and goals. I especially enjoy working with individuals who long for a greater sense of authenticity, meaning, and wholeness in their lives.

Like many of the people I work with, I have long been fascinated by the inner world—the ways our dreams, relationships, bodies, spiritual lives, and unconscious patterns shape our experience. My own journey of learning, healing, and meaning-making continues to inform the way I sit with others in the therapy room. Throughout my life, I have studied a variety of spiritual traditions and have found profound wisdom within them—wisdom that can often be meaningfully integrated into everyday life and the healing process.

Outside of my work, I find restoration and inspiration in nature. I enjoy walking, yoga, spending time outdoors, learning, and traveling. I continue to feel deeply honored to accompany others on their journeys toward greater self-understanding, healing, and transformation.
