You're doing the things you're supposed to do — and something still feels off. Not broken, exactly. More like a persistent undercurrent: anxiety you can't quite name, a burnout that rest doesn't touch, a disconnection that keeps showing up in your relationships or in the quiet moments when you're alone. You've probably tried to manage it. Maybe you've read the books, tried the apps, talked to someone before. But what you're actually looking for — and haven't quite found yet — isn't someone who will tell you what's wrong with you. It's someone who will listen to what's underneath.

I work with curious, self-aware adults who are ready for something more honest than coping. My approach integrates humanistic and existential therapy with Buddhist psychology — not as philosophy, but as practical tools for living. Together we slow down, go deeper, and find out what that signal you've been feeling is actually trying to say.

I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship complexity, and the anxiety of uncertain times — including LGBTQ+ individuals and those in non-traditional relationships. I recently completed Growing Through Crisis: Personal Development When Everything Feels Unstable (ARC Press, 2026), a book that emerged directly from my clinical work.
