Ocean Way Wellness
With nearly 20 years of experience in fitness and wellness, I bring a holistic perspective to mental health care rooted in both clinical training and practical insight. My work spans private practice, academia, and large clinical settings, allowing me to support clients with compassion, depth, and flexibility.
As a doctoral candidate, my research explores the existential and relational dimensions of grief through a psychoanalytic lens, reflecting my dedication to understanding the deeper forces that shape healing. I specialize in object relations and existential approaches, integrating history, philosophy, and psychoanalysis into a therapeutic space that honors both the conscious and unconscious self.
Grounded in a personal connection to nature, animals, and the ocean, I welcome spiritual and contemplative practices into the healing process when desired, offering care that is both grounded and soul-aware.
