Finding a therapist is like finding a good avocado at the grocery store:
If they’re available right now, something is probably wrong, right?
All jokes aside, let's face it, you don't want to be here, because therapist shopping objectively sucks.
You're probably going through hell right now.
That doesn't make you a failure, there is no shame in that.
That means you are human: a complicated bundle of bones and amino acids, eccentricities and aspirations, battle scars. But remember, at your core is a person who has access to courage, creativity, and wisdom capable of transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth.

As a psychotherapist, I take an integrative approach that includes contemporary relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy, EMDR, neuroscience, climate-awareness, social justice and contemplative-based trauma and resiliency training. In working with you I am direct and proactive with the goal to create an environment in which you can explore what feels alive. Our work together includes looking at your personal, family and cultural history, and the beliefs you hold about yourself and the world. We also may incorporate your dreams, memories or paying attention to the language expressed in your body.

I bring my multicultural experience and offer treatment in English, French, and German.
Horses have an innate sense of the suffering of their herd. They are hyper-attuned to the needs of others around them. When I work with my horses they are able to pick up on the underlying needs and desires of my clients. They know when you are feeling angry, isolated, or restless. The horses are able to attune to your emotions while I help you to put those feelings into words and do the necessary work to solve life's challenges. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Do you feel overwhelmed with every day life? Do you feel like you are going through the motions but not really living? Do you feel like you are caring the constant weight of managing all the things while also trying to take care of your own needs? It does not have to be that way. So often we are told that the overwhelm, stress and lack of vitality is normal but it is time to let go of the 'shoulds'. If you have been struggling to connect with your authentic self due to past trauma, current life transitions and/or "juggling it all", you are in the right place.

If you are highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent and you're feeling all talked out, or like you have all the insight but haven't been able to shift in the ways that you want to, it might be time to try somatic therapy. As a trained somatic therapist, I can support you in deepening your relationship with your body and understanding the language it speaks—including how trauma may have manifested in your nervous system and is impacting your life today. Through embodied awareness, gentle movement, imagery, and energetic work, we will uncover the unconscious scripts and wounds that your body has been holding to gently repattern them.

Sometimes nothing is inherently wrong. It just starts feeling harder to carry everything on your own. Anxiety gets louder, mood feels heavier, relationships feel more complicated, or a life change leaves you feeling off balance in a way you can’t quite explain. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma related concerns, life stress, and painful patterns that keep repeating. Therapy can make sense when there is less room to keep doing things the same way and more of a need to sort through what feels tangled, longstanding, or difficult to make sense of alone.

Life can be challenging. Are you unsure of how to move forward, feeling trapped or bewildered by old patterns and emotions? Psychotherapy can be a way forward. Clients who see me include people who just feel stuck, couples who are deadlocked in cycles of conflict and avoidance, and individuals who are interested in exploring how emotions and stress may be contributing factors to their chronic pain or illness.

Our brains are amazing, and awful.
They keep us alive, but get traumatized, depressed, anxious, obsessed. Our thoughts can get so entrenched we can't find our way back to connection and happiness.
If you're neurodivergent, it's harder. If you're LGBTQIA, it's harder. If your trauma is anything other than traditional, it's harder. (this is not to say it's easy for neurotypical, straight, or traditionally traumatized individuals).
I'd like to help you find your connection, creativity, calm, and passion. If you once had it, we'll find it again. If you can't remember ever feeling ok, we can learn together how you can feel good.

Real psychotherapy is not about quick fixes. My practice is built for those ready to go deeper—beyond symptom relief—into lasting transformation. My background reflects over 20 years of Buddhist practice, more than a decade of clinical work across crisis and private settings, and I'm pursuing advanced doctoral research in psychology.
Clients often come to me when they are ready for a space that can hold complexity—whether it’s trauma, identity, meaning, or the unconscious patterns that keep repeating. Together we work at the intersection of depth psychology, existential philosophy, and contemplative practice.

The word psychotherapist is greek and means "Healer of the Soul". When you come into my office, I will not label you with anxiety, depression, addiction or any other disorder. You will hear me ask questions like: How is your addiction protecting you from pain? What do you not feel when depression numbs you? Once you witness and heal the wounds of your soul (you can also call it trauma), the symptoms (the 'disorder') can disappear. If you are interested in having a deeper understanding and awareness of your emotions, I will help you to develop a relationship with yourself that is characterized by curiosity, respect and compassion.

Sometimes people hit a wall. Things that used to be satisfying, like career, relationships, or hobbies don't light them up the way they did when they were younger. All the sleepless nights worrying about "why?" just lead to a useless cycle. I help people, aged 20-99, who have "hit the wall" and are ready to find a healthy way through to the other side. My clients are sick to death of repeating the same unsatisfying patterns, but can't seem to stop or change. They feel stressed, ashamed, shut-down, or depressed and don't feel nearly enough love, joy, optimism, or creativity.
