I am deeply committed to helping individuals feel more connected to themselves and others, allowing them to fully experience and embrace what life has to offer. With a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and diverse previous career interests ranging from biomedical research to Christian spiritual formation and care, I bring a unique perspective to therapy that combines scientific insight with deep emotional and spiritual understanding.

My approach integrates various therapeutic philosophies and approaches. I lean on aspects of Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic work. My work is also informed by my knowledge of the Enneagram and other such constructs.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their inner worlds and build meaningful connections with themselves and others.
