The basis of my approach to healing stems from various different places that I have lived in my life. I was born twenty miles outside of Lake Tahoe and have always been interested in the relationship between our environment, the mind and the body. I incorporate healing methodologies with neuroscience backed concepts in an environment that feels relaxing and calm. 

I received my masters degree in counseling from Northwestern University but completed the majority of my clinical program in Boulder, Colorado where I learned the art and science of mindfulness, somatic therapy and psychedelic therapy. The concept for Sauna Therapy came to me during a Hike in Sedona, Arizona which reminded me of the resiliency of the human spirit. Much like the cacti that stand tall amid the pounding Arizona heat, humans have the innate capacity to not only survive but thrive despite their circumstances. 

I created Sauna Therapy with the intention of embodying these principles- a place where healing does not fit a one sized model or framework. I bring both professionalism and personality into the therapy room. Humor, honesty, raw and deep conversations about psychodynamic concepts all have a place in my healing process. My goal is not to simply help people feel better, but to help them come back into their bodies and transform.
