My Professional Experience
Before becoming a mental health counselor, I studied politics and public health. I saw my growing passion for creating systems and policy transform into a deeper desire to foster wellbeing in direct and connected ways. This shift lead me to provide counseling in a variety of contexts: schools, psychiatric hospitals, homes, and assisted living facilities.
Throughout my clinical career, I learned assessment tools, crisis response, skill-building techniques, and the art of working in a family system. Most importantly, I learned to be with someone in their pain, grief, confusion, or despair. It has been an honor to be invited into tender and sacred places, and to be changed by the courage and beauty of my clients' journeys.
