I help people to get clear with their emotions. I start this process by getting curious with you about what is currently happening in your thoughts, feelings, and in your life. My way of working is supportive, compassionate, and aims to get at the root of things, so that you can navigate through life with more ease and an increasing sense of wholeness. My specialties are: Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions. I work with adults of all genders and racial identities, who want or need to honor themselves more, and are ready to be or are already on a healing path.
My therapeutic approach blends mindfulness-based techniques and self-compassion teachings, with a profound respect for what the body is saying in the present moment. My clinical training is psychodynamic and systems-based. As psychedelic integration specialist, I provide a safe space to process, explore, and reflect on psychedelic experiences.
I firmly believe that everyone can heal with awareness and intention. I think the main reason we experience mental health issues is to become more conscious of feelings we've ignored that need to be honored in our lives. I don't discriminate against anyone. I am a part of the LGBTQ community. If you want to learn more about how I can help, send me a message.

I work with clients who struggle with depression or anxiety related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will explore mindfully the presenting issues, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you to gain more clarity. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."

I often use mindfulness techniques in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With compassion, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to welcome your thoughts with more awareness so that you can honor your feelings.
