I'm glad you are here. Whether you are struggling with depression or anxiety, wish to overcome the consequences of traumatic experiences, have encountered an unexpected loss or transition, or feel stuck in any area of your life, it is so good and important to seek support for yourself. In our work together, I bring a deeply relational quality to therapy, meeting you with acceptance, presence, and warmth. Together we can gently move towards a more full and satisfying expression of your own unique life. You deserve a life that feels abundant, fulfilling, and meaningful.
I work from experiential, attuned, and relational approaches with clients. I have extensive training in Gestalt, Emotion-Focused, somatic/body-centered, and mindful-acceptance counseling modalities. I also spent nine years as a Buddhist monk, which forms the foundation of how I am as a fellow human being as well as a therapist.
I invite you to explore my website and my approach to counseling. I offer an initial 30-min video consultation at no charge if you would like to consider working together. My hope is that you will feel the trust and deep belief I have in your experience and your innate, organic wish for well-being.
