Are you in the middle of a major life transition? Navigating a midlife crisis, emerging from a period of spiritual darkness, or seeking clarity after a deep internal shift? These moments can feel disorienting, but they are also profound invitations to reconnect with yourself. I specialize in helping individuals with self-esteem issues and those going through intense personal transformation. Using a foundation of compassion-based care, I support you in navigating the psychological, emotional, and spiritual terrain that often arises during such pivotal times.
My approach is rooted in compassion-based Gestalt therapy and existential therapy. Sessions with me are not about “fixing” you, they’re about meeting you, guiding you into deeper self-awareness, and helping you find new ways to relate to your experience. My process fosters insight, emotional clarity, and a more grounded sense of self.
Whether you’re feeling lost, cracked open, or simply unsure of your next steps, I offer a space where your inner truth is welcome, and where healing and integration unfold.

Helping people with self-esteem and graceful transitions are my specialty. I will help guide you through inner turmoil and changes with compassion and understanding. The goal is to get you to feel excited about your life and the direction you're taking, which can take some time, but my clients usually start seeing a gradual lifting of symptoms after the first couple sessions.

I work within the Gestalt framework of present-moment focus, during which past experiences and memories can arise. Existential and Narrative therapy are interwoven into my work. I work in a holistic manner that includes aspects of personhood, somatic experience, the past, nervous system regulation, autonomic physiology, and IFS. I also work with art and music therapy for those who are interested.
