About Me
I’ve never believed people fit neatly into categories, and I’ve never believed healing happens in just one way. Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to understanding what helps people heal, grow, and reconnect—with themselves, with one another, and with the world around them. That curiosity continues to shape everything I do.
Following Curiosity
Long before becoming a therapist, I found myself asking questions that didn’t have simple answers.
Why do people respond so differently to the same experience?
How do culture, relationships, and our bodies shape who we become?
What allows some people to heal after unimaginable hardship?
Those questions eventually led me to social work, trauma therapy, yoga, research, and writing. Along the way, I’ve learned that no single discipline holds all the answers. Instead, some of the richest understanding comes from allowing different perspectives to inform one another.
Today, my work lives at the intersection of science, compassion, movement, and meaningful human connection.
What I Do
A few different paths, connected by one purpose.
Psychotherapist
I specialize in trauma-informed care, integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with body-centered approaches that honor both the mind and the nervous system.
Yoga Teacher
Yoga reminds me that healing isn’t only something we think about, it’s something we experience. Teaching movement, breath, and mindfulness has deepened the way I understand resilience and self-compassion.
Writing
Writing gives me space to explore complex ideas about psychology, culture, and healing. Whether contributing to academic scholarship or reflective writing, I hope to make research feel more human and accessible.
Lifelong Student
Some of my favorite moments happen while learning something completely new. I believe curiosity is one of our greatest strengths, and I never want to stop asking questions.
Healing is both science and art
Evidence matters.
Relationships matter.
Our bodies matter.
Our stories matter.
I believe lasting change happens when we make space for all of those truths at once. Whether I’m sitting with a therapy client, practicing yoga, collaborating on research, or writing about human behavior, I try to approach the work with humility, curiosity, and compassion.
I don’t believe in having all the answers.
I believe in creating spaces where better questions can emerge.
