As a team we are committed to cultivating a culture of inclusion. What this means is an active commitment to creating a group experience (and society) where all can feel safe, seen and valued. It also means we are committed to staying open to learning and listening to the voices that are often left unheard and working collaboratively to deepen our ability to honor the experiences of all humankind and work toward equity and dignity for all.
We welcome all and aim to celebrate the diversities inherent to our human existence. We welcome and affirm all gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, racial, ethnic or cultural identities, relationship structure preferences, neurodiversities, spiritual/religious affiliations, body abilities, education levels, financial means and ages.

My aim is to provide compassionate care by way of authentic regard for each client and their unique experiences. I use a strengths-based integrative approach to therapy, and I strongly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. My heart is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their truest self. I work closely with my clients to integrate the whole of their experiences of the body, mind, and spirit into our work. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin, and continued my post grad education by training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Prepare-Enrich premarital counseling, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting Levels I & II, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY). In addition, I am a trained Adherence Rater for the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) sponsored Clinical Trials of MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers, and I belong to an organized community of professionals supporting one another in our work with psychedelic integration.

My hope is to create a therapeutic space infused with warmth, curiosity, and presence. I believe deeply in our capacity to heal, and am often in awe of what is possible when we are held in safe, nourishing relationships and communities. My work is rooted in attachment and experiential therapies, weaving together somatic and systemic approaches. I believe healing happens not only through understanding ourselves, but through experiencing new ways of being, relating, and moving through the world. It is something we practice and embody in relationships. I don’t believe we need to fix, perfect, or perform our way into healing. Instead, I believe the parts of us that carry pain, longing, and protection are asking to be witnessed, welcomed, and understood. What once helped us survive may, with compassion, become a source of wisdom, connection, and even the unique medicine we have to offer the world. We make room for the heartbreak and beauty of being alive. We tend to the places within us that have been forgotten, silenced, or left carrying too much, cultivating a deeper capacity to meet ourselves and our lives with curiosity, agency, and tenderness. Through this practice, new possibilities begin to take root: more aliveness, more connection, more room for joy. I believe each of us carries something uniquely our own to bring into this world. It is something to nurture, tend to, practice, and remember again and again. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Trevecca Nazarene University, and continued my training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Trust Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Brainspotting Level I & II, Somex Module 1, and Polaris Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Module 1 & Integration Module.

I've always been drawn to the art of caring for people. I spent eight years working as a nurse, where I had the privilege of supporting people through some of their most vulnerable moments. Over time, I began to recognize that while caring for the physical body is incredibly important, there are so many other parts of us that deserve attention, compassion, and care. That realization eventually led me to the world of therapy, where I discovered a different kind of healing—one rooted in connection, curiosity, emotional exploration, and the courage to look inward. As a therapist, I believe healing doesn't always happen through words alone. Sometimes it happens through movement, stillness, laughter, tears, or experiences that help us connect with parts of ourselves we haven't quite known how to reach. I'm especially drawn to experiential approaches that invite us to step outside our usual ways of thinking and make room for something new. My approach is warm, curious, and deeply human. I believe we can hold space for the hard, messy parts of being human while still making room for playfulness, wonder, and joy. Healing doesn't have to look one particular way, and it certainly doesn't have to be serious all the time. Through Inner Landscapes Retreats, I'm excited to help create intentional spaces where people can slow down, explore their inner worlds, connect with others, and discover new possibilities for growth. My hope is that each person leaves feeling a little more connected to themselves, a little more curious about what's possible, and a little more empowered to carry that connection into everyday life.
