Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience. In the course of a lifetime, crises happen, unpredictable challenges arise, and in response we develop habit patterns that are often protective but also inhibit our growth and freedom. Therapy will help clear the path so that you can see a way forward. I walk that path with you and provide a container for self-exploration and inquiry. I work with mood disturbances, trauma, attachment issues, self-esteem, and spiritual emergence. Depth therapy is a journey that will take you into yourself and lead you back to yourself while being witnessed by a safe, compassionate presence.

You're not broken—you're responding in human ways to a world that has forgotten how to be human.
I might be the right therapist for you if you feel the weight of generational trauma, systemic oppression, or emotional disconnection & you're ready to explore how these forces shape your inner world.
You may struggle with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or feeling unseen. You long for emotional clarity, self-trust, & deeper connection. You're not looking for quick fixes, but for practices of resistance, repair, & rehumanization. You want to feel more whole—rooted in yourself, in community, & in a life that aligns with your values.

In navigating life's challenges, we often construct defenses that, while once protective, now leave us feeling stuck and isolated. Together, we will work to chip away at these accumulated layers and begin to articulate a more authentic and comfortable way of being in the world. My approach is rooted in compassion and understanding, offering a safe haven for healing while encouraging you gently to your full potential. Together, we'll shift from the shadows of criticism, fear and shame to a path illuminated by self-discovery and growth.

We humans suffer because we don’t get what we want and get what we don’t want.
Most of us want to find a quick cure to our emotional pain. Quick cures sedate the pain which is the source of Wisdom, Compassion, Understanding and Real Love. My approach is for the person who wants to answer the timeless questions of: “Who am I?”, “Where did I come from?”, “Where am I going?” from their own depths and to their full understanding.
It is in this journey, through self-inquiry, that they become happier, wiser and more compassionate.

Big life changes make you question what you thought you knew about yourself and others. Unfair changes that you didn't ask for are especially hard to accept. Negative emotions, self-doubt, and second-guessing can keep you feeling stuck when big shifts happen, but you’re not alone. I’m passionate about helping people face life changes with confidence and self-compassion. The thought of building a new life for yourself can be scary but I’ll help you go from feeling lost and stuck to feeling empowered, confident, and hopeful. I’m easy to talk to and offer a safe and non-judgmental space to express yourself and also have some laughs.
