The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

For thousands of years, philosophers have been developing powerful tools for facing the deepest challenges in human life. In our sessions, we use these tools to empower you to think independently, live confidently and choose courageously. We approach your issues of thought and feeling as an architect approaches redesigning a standing structure: We try to understand and save what works well; but together, strive to increase the coherence, order and harmony. We push through to the deepest aspects of your questions, pursue the clearest formulations of your thoughts, and build strong bridges toward objectivity.

You’re my ideal client! I want to meet you wherever you are & journey with you to where you want to go. Ever pass people who look impossibly high-functioning/put together - makes you feel like you'll never get there? So many look in a mirror & wonder who’s staring back & how they became who they are now.  To understand you, we first have to understand the story you’ve created from the beginning.  Letting others into dark corners of your life, where hurt hides, can be scary & painful.  But, it’s in those moments where healing happens. My role, in your journey, is to stand beside you, in the darker places, & help you turn on a light

Do you feel chronically disconnected or stuck in unhelpful patterns despite "knowing better"? This misalignment might be affecting your physical health, your relationships, your sense of self, and your visions for the future. While many of the strategies you relied upon in early life were both necessary and adaptive, they can also become what hold you back later in life. What if we explore some of your origin stories and update those defaults to better reflect who you are, instead of who you believed you had to be? What if we deepen your self-belonging, thereby strengthening your capacity to connect more effortlessly with others?

My goal as a therapist is to create an open and safe space for clients in which we can work collaboratively and foster change. Together we can explore both what is troubling and unrewarding for you as well as strengths you may find hard to discern and fully realize. As you gain a better understanding of all aspects of yourself, we will work to transform patterns that no longer serve you and reimagine more satisfying ways of being. Our goal will be to help you find a more positive and capable sense of yourself with a greater ability to face and overcome challenges.

We believe in fostering a space that embraces diversity, inclusivity, and compassionate healing and are deeply committed to providing specialized care for individuals navigating the complex intersections of identity, mental health, and relationships. We specialize in assisting those with depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, PTSD, coping strategies, and relationship challenges. Whatever you're facing, our practice offers the support you require on your journey toward healing and well-being.

Would you like to become more self-aware? Our focus on mindfulness will facilitate your journey of self-realization.
