Welcome! I offer whole-person, holistic psychotherapy to adults with an accepting, calm, and compassionate approach. Many of my clients are busy people with multifaceted lives, dealing with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, depression, grief and loss, and relationship concerns. Other clients reach out with work or career worries, creative blocks, spiritual matters, or for personal growth.

Ultimately though, I will meet you where you are and incorporate the tools best suited for you.

You might look fine on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, unsettled, or quietly disconnected.
Maybe you’ve spent years doubting yourself - your perceptions, your needs, your instincts. Maybe relationships feel confusing or draining, and you’re tired of losing yourself to keep the peace. Or maybe you carry a sense that something happened - something subtle, hard to name, not quite “trauma” - yet it changed how safe you feel being yourself.
You don’t want to relive your past over and over. You want a way forward that feels steady, respectful, and real.

If you are confused and uncertain whether you are on the "right" path in your career, relationships, or important life choices, then therapy may be a great avenue for you to explore and find the answers that are unique to you. Sometimes it can be really hard to "hear" or "feel" your truth, your intuition, and gut instinct when doubt clouds your mind and the internal dialogue and chatter are loud and debilitating. Having low self-esteem, or feeling insecure in relationships and goals in life can be stressful and anxiety provoking.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
