Feeling stressed, disconnected, or stuck? Longing for joy, self-assurance, and deeper connection? Life's a rollercoaster—beautiful, scary, boring, and painful, with sprinkles of happiness. You yearn for a different experience, yet know life can't be magically fixed. But by working with me, you'll learn to be intimate with your own life, tapping into self-trust and inner knowledge. You'll discover practices to befriend yourself, engage others with curiosity and empathy, and build emotional resilience and equanimity, even when things get tough. Ready to live life differently?
My therapeutic approach combines mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, somatic inquiry, and positive psychology theory and techniques. When we work together, I create a compassionate connection with you. We can work on “fixing what’s wrong” while we also “build what’s strong” in your life.
Life is hard; it is also beautiful. Sometimes one just needs to sit down and rest, and look at what's working and what is not. Having a skilled companion who is completely present with you, who can give perspective and bear witness to your struggle — that is what I do. I am honored you are considering me for that role. I hope to hear from you!

I work with clients in a collaborative, interactive way. In our initial sessions we will assess your challenges and identify preliminary goals to help you feel better. Most of my clients experience a sense of relief and being understood within the first sessions, and I check in periodically on whether a client feels therapy is helping and what might need to change.

The most important component in therapy is the connection between the client and therapist. I work to establish trust and safety, for a client to feel understood. In our work, I'll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to explore how thoughts affect feelings and experiences. We'll use positive psychology principles to explore your strengths and how to use those to improve your life.
