I believe that vulnerability is essential in the therapeutic space, and I’d like to share a bit about myself to foster transparency and understanding as we work together. My background and experiences inform my perspectives and approach to therapy, and I want you to have a clear sense of who I am to share in a vulnerable space together.

I am a cisgender, heterosexual, White woman of Irish and Prussian heritage who was brought up in a middle-class family in the suburbs. I am also a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and former Certified Public Accountant, have lived in four countries on three continents, am married to a counselor, and have two beloved dogs, one of which weighs over 100 pounds. I grew up in the Catholic Church, but my personal spiritual practice now draws inspiration primarily from Buddhist traditions. 

I bring an optimistic and energetic presence to my work, incorporating playfulness and a deep sense of curiosity, which is part of the reason I named the business after a goldfish. I collaborate using clear and open communication to support you with building a fulfilling and sustainable life. My goal is to create a genuine and authentic connection with you while fostering a compassionate and supportive environment for exploration and growth. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
