Hi! I’m Ingrid

A few quick facts about me:

  • I know what it’s like to have hereditary cancer risk—personally and in the family.

  • I have grieved the life I thought I was going to live, continue to grieve, and continue to be amazed at this life I get to live, however long it lasts.

  • I love hiking with my dog Mochi to explore our incredible world.

I can help you grieve and love your life again.

Here’s how I’m qualified:

  • I have over 10 years of experience providing individual therapy to adults with cancer, chronic illness, generational trauma and adverse childhood events.

  • I’m always learning (via books, podcasts, trainings, consultations) about how to best help people grow.

  • I’ve faced and grappled (and continue to wrestle) with my own stuff, and love to provide neuroscience-based hope.
