I am a licensed psychotherapist, mentor, herbalist-in-training, and photographer based in Los Angeles. As the founder of  Inner Vision Psychotherapy I see individuals and couples in my clinical practice, supervise associate therapists, facilitate groups, and co-lead, The Inner Wild an annual retreat in Morvern, Scotland.

My work supports building a conscious relationship to our ever-evolving process of becoming that is the process of individuation. I believe that each of us possesses an innate capacity for wisdom and flourishing that emerges when the right emotional and relational conditions are present. My work is devoted to helping create and sustain those conditions.

Human beings come to know themselves in relationship. We grow through reflection, conversation, and connection that bring into view what is difficult to recognize alone. Rather than defining or interpreting who someone is, I support a deeper capacity to listen inwardly, stay with what emerges, and move toward life with greater clarity and agency.

Across therapy, mentorship, herbalism, retreat work, and creative practice, I am drawn to liminal spaces—the thresholds where what is familiar loosens and something new begins to form. These are often places of tension and uncertainty, but also of possibility, where what has been held in opposition can begin to reorganize into something more integrated and new.

History and Background

I was raised in southern Minnesota, where endless fields, forests, and lakes shaped an early relationship with nature, imagination, and the unseen. I now live in Los Angeles, where those early sensibilities continue to find expression in my work. My path into the healing arts began long before graduate school, shaped by experiences of loss, family addiction, and grief that opened a lifelong inquiry into suffering, meaning, and transformation.

The deaths of both of my parents in 2014 marked a profound turning point. Grief altered my understanding of loss and identity—how we are changed by what we cannot choose, and how life often asks us to become someone new in relation to what has ended. These experiences continue to inform how I sit with others in moments of transition.

Alongside my clinical work, I have spent much of my life exploring the creative process. I believe that what nourishes us is what gives us the capacity to move through life’s challenges with grace. Through dance, acting, and video art, I learned early on how we come to know ourselves through expression. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a photographer and artist, practices that continue to influence how I work with my clients. Photography taught me that being truly seen can subtly transform how we see ourselves. In many ways, that understanding remains central to my work.

Over time, I have come to understand that suffering is not the only gateway to change. While pain often initiates transformation, there are also quieter openings—curiosity, beauty, creativity, relationship, love, and purpose. Much of my work is devoted to helping people recognize and trust these more subtle invitations toward life.

Whether in therapy, mentorship, herbalism, retreat work, or creative practice, my intention is to offer a space where something essential can be met with honesty and care, and where a person can move toward a life that feels more aligned with meaning and direction.
