My path into psychotherapy began with a deep love for nature and the belief that our environments shape our well-being. Before becoming a therapist, I founded Field Thistles, a small creative landscape design company rooted in the idea that gardens could be places of healing, reflection, and personal expression. Through that work, I witnessed how people’s stories and emotions were often tied to their spaces, and I began to see that creating beautiful gardens—while meaningful—was not always enough.

This realization sparked my journey into psychotherapy. I recognized that just as gardens require tending, so too do our inner lives. I became passionate about helping people explore their emotional landscapes, navigate transitions, and find resilience and peace within themselves.

Today, I bring together my background in therapeutic horticulture, creativity, and nature-based approaches with evidence-based psychotherapy. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where clients can feel grounded, explore their stories, and grow in ways that feel authentic to them. At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: healing flourishes when we reconnect with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world around us.
