BIO

My approach to counseling is deeply shaped by the diverse life experiences I had before becoming a therapist. I’ve worked as a Wilderness Ranger, Dog Mushing Guide, Organic Farm Hand, Ski Lift Operator, and Musician. These roles taught me to observe carefully, listen attentively, adapt to the unexpected, and appreciate the value of introspection and connection. They bring a natural sense of curiosity, metaphor, and creativity to my work. Whether drawing from nature, music, or everyday moments, I often use imagery and storytelling to help clients explore their inner world in ways that feel grounded and meaningful.

At the core of my style is a strong respect for each person’s unique pace and process. I don’t rush or push—I meet clients where they are, working collaboratively to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach is rooted in honesty, curiosity, and practical tools. I help clients uncover what’s not working, recognize patterns, and identify strengths that can support lasting change. My aim is to listen deeply, offer clarity and compassion through challenges, and support the creation of a more fulfilling and authentic life.
