My Approach


My approach to therapy is relational and depth-oriented. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is a primary vehicle for healing. In this space, I honor the richness and complexity of who you are, allowing space for your unique story to unfold and for our work to emerge organically.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Buddhist psychology, relational psychodynamic therapy, Jungian psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Nonviolent Communication, and compassion-based therapies. Each session is guided by a deep listening to what you need in the moment, which might include practices such as self-compassion exercises, dream analysis, grounding breathwork, IFS parts work, or conflict resolution strategies.

My personal practices also deeply inform how I show up in the room. With over a decade of experience in conscious dance, Authentic Relating, vipassana meditation, and creative arts, I bring an expanded sense of presence, vitality, and compassion to my work.

I like to think of our time together as a dance—sometimes I lead, sometimes you lead—but always in collaboration, trusting the flow of what we are co-creating. I believe that both you and I are abundant, each bringing unique gifts to the work. Together, we can combine our brilliance and beauty to help you create a life of unquestionable belonging.

For the rebels and the misfits, the black sheep and the outsiders. For the refugees, the orphans, the scapegoats, and the weirdos. For the uprooted, the abandoned, the shunned and the invisible ones. May you recognize with increasing vividness that you know what you know.

If you’ve been seeking therapy that feels like home, this space is for you.

You’re invited to:

  • Explore the roots of self-doubt, perfectionism, or feelings of “not enough” or “too much”

  • Unwind from the pressure to achieve, succeed, or prove your worth at any cost

  • Process grief, loss, or the pain of feeling disconnected, unseen, or misunderstood

  • Discover what may be holding you back from the intimacy and closeness you desire with others

  • Heal emotional wounds and reclaim a renewed sense of hope and possibility

  • Reconnect with your inherent beauty, wisdom, and power

I especially honor and welcome:
