Hi there! I’m a Depth psychotherapist (Jungian-oriented), integrative medicine mental health provider, wellness consultant, & educator. I view therapy as fertile ground for cultivating self-awareness, transforming suffering into wisdom, and asking honest questions of ourselves & our lives. People come to me when they’re ready for meaningful change. Life might feel stagnant, without purpose, or they want to step into a fuller expression of themselves. Many are navigating post-traumatic growth, a spiritual or existential “Dark Night,” major life transition, or a sense that prior innerwork has plateaued & deeper integration is needed.
My approach is educational, contemplative, integrative, and neuroscience-informed, with emphasis on the mind–body connection. I draw from Depth and Positive Psychology, Energy psychology, brain-retraining, Buddhist & Stoic philosophy, and research examining how intensive meditation supports neuroplasticity, healing, resilience, and physiological regulation.
I see challenges & symptoms as messengers of the soul, inviting a psychospiritual descent that when accepted, can unlock reservoirs of vitality allowing you to reemerge as your unique, gifted self. I’ll support you in translating insight into embodied change. If my work resonates, please visit my website to complete my "Exploring Fit" form on contact page.

I am a student of Buddhism since 2006, sitting several meditation retreats every year. My interest in consciousness studies and post-traumatic growth has evolved into pursuing research into the biological & physiological effects of meditation & brain retraining on health (epigenetics) & longevity.
