I’ve been in private practice as a counseling therapist since 2018, working with a wide range of adult clients both online and in person. I earned my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Goddard College in Plainfield, VT where I focused my studies on eco-psychology, nature-based therapy, transpersonal psychology, and Jungian depth psychology. My undergraduate studies took place at Earlham College in Richmond, IN, where I studied religion and outdoor leadership. My studies at that time focused primarily on Eastern religious traditions which included a semester spent abroad in India.

In my outdoor leadership training, the focus was on a style of leadership called “Servant Leadership” and based on approaches developed by Outward Bound that emphasize “leadership from behind” meaning that the highest form of leadership involves listening, stepping aside, and lifting up the strengths and empowerment of those who look to you, as opposed to dictating to them.

In my 20’s and 30’s, up until the present, I have been devoted to exploring and learning from traditions of wisdom, spirituality, mysticism, philosophy, and psychology. I’ve explored the rich traditions of Nature-based spirituality, Celtic Druidry, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christian mysticism, Taoism, and various forms of divination including the I Ching, astrology, tarot, and runes. I’ve learned from various schools of thought and approaches within the field of psychology, primarily the Jungian tradition, Mindfulness-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential-Humanistic psychology. I am also trained as a second degree Reiki practitioner, and have explored other healing modalities that involve energy work, dreamwork, and trance/visioning states.
