The path to this practice
Growing up near the Chesapeake Bay, I developed an early connection with the water through sailing. I learned early that life, much like the ocean, is full of both calm waters and powerful storms.
Just as the sea requires patience and respect, so too does the journey of personal growth.
When my parents divorced, I found myself reflecting deeply on human connection and the complexity of family dynamics. That curiosity about relationships became a driving force in my life, and led me to psychology.
At Deep Sea Psychology, I believe that every person has depths, parts of ourselves that we may not always understand but that hold immense potential for growth.
