Since starting my practice in 2014, I have been honored to help clients from a wide array of backgrounds, including artists, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and larger organizations. Diversity is at the heart of my practice, and it is both welcomed and celebrated.

My path into this field began with an art project centered on personal transparency where I connected myself to a polygraph (lie detector) and invited the public to ask me anything. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about myself and others. 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 become a psychotherapist.

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