You deserve to heal.

“Wisdom, Happiness, and Courage are not waiting somewhere out beyond sight at the end of a straight line; they’re part of a continuous cycle that begins right here. They’re not only the ending, but the beginning as well.”
From an early age, I learned how to be both independent and deeply connected to others. As an only child, I spent a lot of time in my own world—curious, observant, and learning how to make sense of the people around me. Growing up cross-culturally, with one parent who grew up in Germany and several of my own high school years spent in Berlin, I developed a lifelong fascination with how culture shapes us—how it influences how we express emotion, connect, and make meaning.
Languages have always been part of how I explore the world. I speak English and Spanish fluently, and can still piece together some German when I need to. But for much of my early life, I didn’t have the words to express what I felt inside. My parents were loving and well-intentioned, but like many families, we didn’t have the language for emotions. I learned to achieve, to adapt, and to stay strong—but not necessarily to name what I was feeling.
When I returned to the United States for college, the culture I was supposed to call “home” felt unexpectedly foreign. Something in me knew I needed support, so I found my way to therapy. It took a few tries to find the right person, but when I finally did, something shifted. I experienced what it meant to be seen without judgment. The defenses I had built up for years slowly gave way to clearer boundaries, deeper self-understanding, and a gentler way of being with myself.
Today, my work as a therapist integrates all of these influences:
A respect for culture, lived experience, and diversity
A belief in the wisdom of the body
A reverence for nature as a partner in healing
And a commitment to meeting people with warmth, humor, and honesty
I help clients who feel stuck, unseen, or disconnected—people who, like I once did, sense that something inside them is asking to be understood. My role isn’t to provide all the answers, but to help you find your own.
In our work together, I bring compassion, curiosity, and sometimes even laughter. Healing doesn’t mean we erase pain; it means we learn how to carry it differently, to feel more alive and more ourselves.
Education
That experience shaped the rest of my life. It followed me through graduation, a patchwork of career explorations, and eventually a move to Chile, where I taught English, met my husband, and fell in love with the country’s slow rhythms of connection and community. Living there reminded me that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationship, with others and with the natural world.
My own healing has always been tied to movement, mindfulness, and curiosity. I began practicing yoga as a teenager, which led me into meditation and Buddhist study. Over time, this evolved into a deep interest in ecopsychology—the understanding that we are nature, and that our well-being is inextricably linked to the earth around us.
