I came to herbal medicine the way a lot of healers do: I've always wanted to help people, and the plants helped me feel more connected to the natural world along the way. I actually started out earning a pharmacy technician certificate, but it didn't take long to realize I didn't want to build my life inside the pharmaceutical business. I wanted to work with people in a deeper, more rooted way, supporting the whole person rather than managing symptoms one prescription at a time.

That pull toward herbalism eventually led me into addiction counseling, where I saw firsthand how much healing depends on being truly seen and supported. Today I bring both worlds together: clinical herbalism grounded in real plant medicine, and a trauma-aware, person-centered approach that meets you where you are.

I trained in Western herbalism at Green Path Herb School and have been working with clients since 2019. I'm currently deepening that work through the School of Evolutionary Herbalism's Vitalist Herbal Practitioner program. But the heart of my practice isn't a credential. It's the belief that plants, time, and gentle attention can help a body remember how to find its own balance.
