Since starting my practice in 2014, I have been honored to help clients from a wide array of backgrounds, including artists, entrepreneurs, executives and non-profits.

My path into this field began with an art project on personal transparency where I connected myself to a polygraph (lie detector) and invited the public to ask me anything. What captivated me the most was the transformative power of bringing strangers together in a safe, honest space to engage in meaningful dialogue.
This profound revelation motivated me to pursue coaching and later, deepen my work as a psychotherapist.

I am continually inspired by my clients, and our collaborative work truly fills me with optimism for this wild world.
