about me

My childhood curiosity wasn’t daunted by the fear of creepy crawlies. Armed with boundless wonder, I spent hours turning over rocks, eager to uncover the hidden secrets of the earth beneath. Focused on pursuing the “American Dream,” I graduated with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and spent several years in strategy consulting at a Big Four firm.

When COVID hit, I was living in the middle of Washington, DC. During this time of quarantining, I turned to mindfulness practices, reigniting a passion for exploration – both external and internal. Through meditation, yoga, and self-reflection practices, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. This process rekindled my childhood fascination with the unknown, not just in the natural world, but also within the vast landscapes of the mind. In search for a path in alignment with my purpose, I left my job to pursue a degree in Wilderness Therapy, and have never looked back.

As a Nature-Based Therapist, I guide my clients on a journey of self-reflection and discovery. I use a compassionate and insightful approach to help clients peel back the layers of behaviors, relationships, and thought patterns that obscure their authentic selves. I believe nature-based therapy acts as a powerful tool for self-discovery. It acts like a mirror, revealing aspects of ourselves that we might not be consciously aware of, and provides a source of healing restoration. I witnessed this transformative power firsthand while working as a Field Guide and Family Therapist at Open Sky Wilderness Therapy and continue to champion its magic. For my latest project, I am facilitating family therapy intensives at Willder Sage aimed at helping families learn to function in a way that best supports each individual.

When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, wandering in nature, summitting Colorado’s alpine peaks, rock climbing, and practicing my photography skills.
