Therapist

Hi, I’m a therapist with a Master’s in Social Work and a Certified Nature-Informed Practitioner. I support people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and that deep, confusing feeling of “What am I even doing with my life?” My work blends nature-based healing with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but I also hold space for questioning the systems these approaches come from. Western therapy models were created within oppressive frameworks, and I believe in naming that, not ignoring it. In our work together, I’ll offer education and options so you can decide how you want to engage in healing—whether that’s learning to function within societal systems, or stepping outside of them to embrace your authenticity and roots.
