If you’re feeling anxious, weighed down by self-doubt, or stuck in old patterns, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a space to find clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of possibility. True healing often comes from slowing down and exploring the deeper patterns that shape us. This kind of inner work isn’t easy to do alone—having a companion can make all the difference. I’m here to support you in moving through what’s keeping you stuck so you can experience more flow, fulfillment, and creativity in your life.

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, PTSD, life transitions, self-exploration, and the search for meaning. My approach is depth-oriented, meaning I help you access the wisdom of your deep psyche and uncover what’s been waiting to emerge. I also incorporate EMDR, a highly effective technique for processing unresolved trauma.

I have a dedicated sitting meditation practice and am a long-term student of Zen. This infuses my work with clients, helping us turn towards what’s hard while also making space for spontaneity and joy to appear. If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect. Reach out for a free consultation, and we can explore whether we’d be a good fit.

I am primarily a depth-oriented therapist. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and work together to find the best way forward. Along with depth work that invites the energy stored in your unconscious to emerge, I use a variety of effective modalities like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness to help integrate emotional pain and navigate life challenges.
