Over time, my understanding of human beings was formed through many different worlds: clinical work, competitive athletics, recovery, performance, creativity, chronic illness, and depth psychology. Rather than remaining separate, those experiences gradually became integrated into the way I understand suffering, adaptation, resilience, and transformation.

For more than 17 years, I’ve worked as a licensed therapist alongside people navigating identity shifts, emotional complexity, performance pressure, grief, recovery, and major life transitions.

My work is both clinical and creative. Alongside psychological training, I often draw from creative and poetic perception - paying attention to the stories, patterns, metaphors, contradictions and emotional truths that exist beneath the surface of ordinary conversation.

I’m especially interested in what happens when the strategies that once helped us survive no longer work and what it takes to build a more honest, sustainable and connected way of living.

I am also the Creative Director of The Life Show, a live performance project exploring grief, fear, transformation, humor, and the complexity of being human through poetry, storytelling, and comedy.
