My approach as a contemplative psychotherapist is a bit like hosting a mindful, no-judgment dinner party for your thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations. Everyone gets a seat at the table-even the guests you'd rather not invite. Instead of shoving the awkward or painful ones into a closet, we get curious about them. With a combination of deep presence, gentle humor, and somatic awareness, I help you notice what's happening inside without getting hijacked by it. The goal? To build a relationship with your inner world that's thoughtful, meaningful and full of unexpected insights.

Welcome! As we work together I will honor your inherent healthiness. If you are experiencing PTSD, trauma, grief, loss, divorce, depression, anxiety, anger, denial, co-dependency, addictions, or need self-care and empowerment, you have choices. I can help you to be brave enough to weather personal storms, tender enough to be vulnerable, resilient enough to succeed, and confident enough to trust your own wisdom. Together we'll take a non-judgmental and honest look at "how and why" you do what you do, in order to inspire positive change. I invite you to explore the possibilities. Individuals and couples. (No insurance for couples)

Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

I work at the intersection of social justice, collective wellbeing, and sustainable change. Rooted in Buddhist teachings, I use transparency, receptivity, accountability, and vulnerability as practical tools for integrity and resilience. I work with individuals and organizations to navigate responsibility visible, shared, and sustainable. I see sustainability as a relational practice in which lasting change depends on awareness, nervous system regulation, ethical action, and accountability. I work with you to translate values into daily practice without relying on over- functioning or self -sacrifice.

We are always, already in relationship. Whether it's with another person, oneself, or the environment, we are in some way connected to, affected, and shaped by our interactions and context. It's in relationship that our deepest hurt can take place, and it's also in relationship that our most profound and liberating healing can occur. Let's utilize relationship- yours and mine, other relationships in your life (partners or friends), and the greater context of society and nature to illuminate unconscious patterning, and support you in finding new, intentional ways of being that bring you greater joy, clarity, and wellbeing.

Do you feel unsatisfied in relationships? Not seen, heard, or understood? Have difficulty navigating intimacy and communication? Is your sex life a source of distress? Are you hard on yourself about not being able to do things differently? I believe lasting change requires more than just talk therapy. Many of our wounds are stored in the body and we must speak the language of the nervous system in order to understand and heal them. Our work will address symptoms and stuckness at this level, which has the power to rewire habitual responses that formed around early attachment difficulties or trauma throughout the lifespan.

I work primarily with adult individuals and couples on issues including relationships, anxiety and depression, identity (especially LGBTQ+ folks), and life transitions. My approach to counseling is rooted in the belief that empowerment, inclusivity, and meaningful connection can heal people. I often explore the question: What do you want from life that you aren't getting?

My ideal clients are men and couples navigating communication challenges, disconnection, or recurring conflict. Many feel stuck in familiar patterns, unsure how to express needs or reconnect in meaningful ways. They often come to therapy wanting deeper intimacy, clearer communication, and a more grounded sense of self within their relationships. Through an attachment-based, experiential approach, we slow down interactions, build awareness of emotional and relational patterns, and develop more effective ways of responding. This work supports stronger connection, greater trust, and more resilient, fulfilling relationships over time.

As far as everyone is concern, "you have an amazing life". "You have a partner who "loves you, gives you the world" or maybe "you are lucky to be single". "You can date whomever you like and not have to answer to anyone". But what if your experience of yourself and your life is completely different from what everyone else sees. What if life does not feel so amazing? What if even though you have a partner, you feel as though you are living separate lives; no joy, no intimacy, no sex, just constant bickering? What if you are tired of being alone, tired of the lack of connection? Tired of not having the relationship you desire?

I'm a specialized therapist who works primarily with neurodivergence, specifically ADHD, OCD, autism & borderline spectrums, and chronic depression, anxiety, & bipolar disorders. I also have expertise in complex trauma issues, often stemming from narcissistic family systems or relationship abuse. Many of my clients possess an excellent or above-average capacity for self-reflection and introspection. However, they feel their heightened self-awareness can sometimes backfire, magnifying feelings of powerlessness and frustration when they find themselves stuck in repetitive patterns and unable to make desired changes in their behaviors.

I believe the therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for understanding where we come from, and how our survival strategies and coping skills have benefitted us in the past, while also shining a light on which ones may be due for an upgrade. With a witness, and using principles of somatic therapy we can begin to excavate the limiting beliefs taking up valuable real estate in our psyche and put in motion an upshift of our self-concept. The therapeutic container acts as a vessel in which to recontextualize who we have been, who we are now and who we want to become.
