I believe we all possess intrinsic health – an internal source of wisdom that orients towards wellness – so we all have the ability to increase self-awareness and decrease unhelpful habitual patterns.  I hold a humanist-existential perspective that acknowledges we all inevitably encounter difficulties in our lives, but how we work with them and make meaning is key. My own spiritual and Buddhist contemplative practices deeply inform my view, and my background in the arts guides me hold a symbolic attitude. By getting curious about our experience, we can come to a deeper understanding of and gentler orientation towards ourselves, one with more kindness, self-compassion, and less judgment. 

Who I Work With

I work with individual adults, from young and emerging adults to those navigating midlife and beyond. My practice welcomes a diverse range of clients, and I particularly enjoy supporting:

  • Creatives and artists

  • Those exploring spirituality or are recovering from spiritual wounding

  • LGBTQIA communities

  • Individuals living with anxiety, depression, and the complex effects of PTSD and C-PTSD

  • People navigating grief, loss, or major life transitions

  • Immigrant-origin individuals

How I practice

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and integrative. I draw from a range of modalities, including:

  • Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapy

    • including dream work, active imagination, shadow/persona, etc.

  • Polyvagal theory, neuropsychology, somatic psychology

  • Gestalt therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Mindfulness-based practices including Compassion-Focused Therapy and the contemplative wisdom of Buddhism

  • Feminist psychology

I practice active, deep listening and emphasize an engaged, relational presence. My foundational training is in mindfulness-based transpersonal psychology—a perspective that emphasizes a non-pathologizing, present-moment, and often experiential approach. This framework invites space for alternative ways of knowing, healing, and making meaning.
