Before becoming a social worker and a therapist, I was a meditator in the Buddhist tradition. I was attracted to Buddhism because it directly addressed the problem of suffering and what to do about it. It offered practices to relieve suffering and promote happiness, which I began to experience the more I practiced. This inspired me to train to become a therapist, through which I learned about many additional forms of suffering and ways to relieve that suffering in myself and others.

My therapy approach focuses on transformation over & above maintenance/symptom management. It is insight-oriented, grounded in intellect & intuition, simultaneously challenging & compassionate. Embracing the dynamic balancing act of life. Perhaps slowing down to soften & be present with uncertainty. Or finding grace after struggle, moving with the rhythms of your unique beingness: body, mind, & spirit. At times, stepping into fear to reclaim empowerment and strength. Present-moment oriented & multidimensional. Iconoclastic, both-and, non-normative lens. For a creative, meaningful & vital life path. Say yes to epistemic flexibility!

I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive and/or gifted, who struggle with anxiety or complex trauma, and/or who are curious about their neurodivergence. I also work with therapists.
Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system, they experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they may have experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support my clients on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

You've done the work — the books, maybe even therapy — but something still feels stuck. In your relationship, in how you see yourself, in patterns you keep returning to no matter what you try. You want more than coping tools. You want to actually feel different. I work with individuals ready for deep self-love and transformation, and couples exhausted by the same conflict cycles. Using EMDR, somatic healing, and HeartMath biofeedback, we heal what's driving the pattern — not just manage it.

You are exhausted by the roles you’ve been asked to play. Whether you are navigating the complexities of ENM, polyamory, or kink, or simply tired of the "shoulds" imposed by gender and religious constructs, the cost of "getting it right" has become too high. You may feel a devastating disconnect from your own desires, trapped in a cycle of self-abandonment to earn a sense of belonging. You crave a deeper, authentic connection—to yourself and your partners—but shame and the illusion of separateness keep you stuck. I work with individuals and relational units ready to shed the mask and build an internally-validated life.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards making some life changes. I understand because I've been there. Sometimes we all need a little support in achieving our goals. That’s just fine because life can be overwhelming. Often, we just need a bit of guidance finding the answers that are already inside of us and that’s when coaching can be helpful. The coaching process works well in any area of your life you want to develop or change. The hardest part is taking the first step and I work with men and women who do just that.

I focus my practice on supporting autistic young adults, professionals, and children navigating the complex transitions to independence. Often, these individuals have spent years "masking" to fit into a neurotypical world, leading to profound overwhelm and a sense of being deeply misunderstood. Whether finding footing in adulthood, seeking professional success, or building a child’s foundation, my clients share a common goal: to move beyond survival toward a life that celebrates their unique strengths. This work is designed for those seeking a meaningful, steady, and long-lasting path forward.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Therapists
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualization or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
