MY Approach
Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It’s about understanding the patterns, experiences, and relationships that have shaped you, and creating space for something new to emerge. My approach is person-centered, integrative, and rooted in a relational psychodynamic framework. Meaning: we focus on your unique strengths and needs, emphasize the mind-body connection, and bring the therapist-client dynamic into the conversation. This is work that goes deep beneath the surface to nurture, heal, and resolve core wounds.
I incorporate attachment theory, trauma-informed somatic and mindfulness techniques, ACT, narrative therapy, and parts work into the therapeutic process. My work is further bolstered by 10+ years of experience as a yoga and meditation teacher, and as a dedicated practitioner of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. These tools allow for not only intellectual insight in talk therapy, but also deep integration and embodiment.
I’ve undergone specialized training in the fields of palliative and end-of-life care, with emphasis on anticipatory and complicated grief, caregiver burnout, bereavement and chronic trauma.
Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I’m here to meet you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll slow down what’s been automatic, bring curiosity to what has gone overlooked or repressed, and support meaningful change that feels integrated rather than forced.
When therapy might be right for you
You may or may not be in crisis, but something no longer feels aligned. You’re carrying grief, questioning your direction, feeling worn down by anxiety or burnout, or noticing patterns in relationships that leave you feeling disconnected and misunderstood. Therapy can offer a steady, reflective space to slow down, make sense of your experience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Grief is not limited to death. It can follow the end of a relationship, a shift in identity, a change in career, or the loss of a version of yourself you once relied on. Together, we create space to process what’s been lost, explore how it’s shaped you, and gently rebuild a sense of self that feels grounded and authentic.
-
Major transitions—whether chosen or unexpected—often disrupt our sense of stability. Whether you’re navigating a career change, relocation, parenthood, divorce, or a deeper existential shift, therapy can help you slow down, clarify what matters, and move forward with intention rather than reaction.
-
Anxiety and burnout can be signals that something deeper needs attention. When productivity, perfectionism, or over-functioning are no longer sustainable, therapy offers space to understand the patterns beneath the pressure. We work to build self-trust, regulation, and a more aligned way of living.

Relationships often mirror our earliest experiences of safety, closeness, and belonging. If you find yourself repeating painful dynamics, struggling with intimacy, or feeling unseen in connection, therapy can help you understand these patterns and create more secure, authentic ways of relating.
