I work with individuals and couples who feel ready to explore ideas about themselves, their relationships, and the lives they're living. Additionally, I have a particular interest in working with men, athletes, and meditators as well as people engaged in self-development who may find that inner work benefits from a therapeutic space. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relational conflict, trauma, or spiritual uncertainty. Some feel stuck or disconnected, others sense old patterns aren't working anymore. I help clients move forward through self-understanding and self-compassion toward a more meaningful, loving life.
I offer individual and couples therapy integrating IFS, Gottman method, and somatic-mindfulness approaches. My approach is systemic, relational, and deeply personalized, I work together with your lived experiences.
If something here resonated please don't hesitate to reach out as an act of self care or curiosity. Whether you're ready to dive in or just curious, I'd love to hear from you. There's no pressure and no commitment, just an opportunity to connecting and seeing if we might be a good fit.
