Living an examined life is not easy but the journey of understanding oneself is incredibly rewarding. If you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns or struggling to work through emotions, then you've come to the right person. Perhaps you've experienced trauma or difficult relationships, or maybe you are looking for more out of your life and can't seem to find your way. Whether you're navigating personal relationships, learning to love yourself more fully, or trying to make sense of your own mental health, I can help. "Troubled? Then stay with me, for I am not." - Hafez

My approach includes leveraging neuroscience through modalities like Internal Family Systems, CBT, attachment-style, and somatic-based approaches, that best fit your needs. I help you find your own inner strength, intelligence and love.

I bring a calm presence, gentle curiosity, and a willingness to work as hard as you do for your well-being.
