By Moonlight and Tide Psychotherapy PLLC

Thank you for visiting.

I became a therapist because I have always been drawn to what lives beneath the surface. I am interested in how people make meaning, how patterns take shape, and how the body and mind respond to stress over time. Therapy is not about fixing anything. It is about creating enough stability and safety to look honestly at what is present.

In my work, I value emotional literacy, internal safety, and thoughtful self-connection. I approach sessions with curiosity rather than urgency. Insight matters, but it matters most when it is integrated slowly and practically into daily life. My training includes evidence based approaches for anxiety and emotional regulation, along with ongoing study in Jungian and spiritually integrated perspectives. I bring both structure and reflection into the therapy room.

I am completing training in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy because questions of meaning are often already present in the work, whether they are named or not. Sometimes they sound like belief or prayer, and sometimes like longing, guilt, forgiveness, suffering, joy, or the question of what makes life worth living. I do not bring an agenda or doctrine into the room. I listen for what matters to you, and when these themes arise, we approach them with curiosity and care as part of the broader psychological work.

Outside of therapy, I write poetry, spend time near flowing water, and pay attention to the quiet rituals that keep me steady. These rhythms shape how I practice. I believe change often happens gradually, through attention and return, sometimes arriving in subtle illumination rather than force.
