I took the scenic route to becoming a psychotherapist. I first found my way to the mountains of the west and into a career in outdoor media and storytelling. I helped to create and produce films, written stories, and podcasts about life in wild places. I sat with people, listened deeply, paying close attention to both what was said and how it was said. Now, as a therapist, story continues to shape my work. I believe stories connect us and guide us— what we tell ourselves, what we share, what we hide away, what we’ve heard our whole lives from others, and the different versions we might create and edit over time.

I’ve been on my own journey, away from out-running, over-thinking & under-feeling toward the wisdom of stillness and listening to my body and soul. I seek to bring realness, warmth, compassion and curiosity into all I do. I find great meaning in helping others tap into a wider landscape of self. It’s a great honor to be a part of others’ journey and I look forward to being a part of yours.
