Real psychotherapy is not about quick fixes. My practice is built for those ready to go deeper—beyond symptom relief—into lasting transformation. My background reflects over 20 years of Buddhist practice, more than a decade of clinical work across crisis and private settings, and currently I'm pursuing advanced doctoral research in psychology. Clients often come to me when they are ready for a space that can hold complexity—whether it’s trauma, identity, meaning, or the unconscious patterns that keep repeating. Together we work at the intersection of depth psychology, existential philosophy, and contemplative practice.
I am committed to understanding and connecting with your experience. My style is straightforward and grounded: I don’t just “listen and nod.” I challenge, support, and walk with you through the hard work of change. Many clients describe this process as life-changing—not because it’s easy, but because it finally feels real.
Please refer to my website for more detailed information about how I practice. Thank you.
