By following what comes up, all that's been written in your life, no matter how difficult it may be, we will create space for change.

I love working to support folks building a container for reflection and exploration with the goal of a more regulated and grounded nervous system.

I believe that all mental anguish begins with loneliness and disconnection. This is why my approach to psychotherapy is grounded fundamentally in the relationship that we build together. Together we will move through suffering, creatively identifying new possibilities and ways of experiencing life. We will find hope and build your capacity to love both yourself and others more fully. From within this relationship, you will be able to safely try new things, to see what works for you, to ultimately move forward in your life with more ease. I like the expression "human flourishing" to describe this process.
