Great to meet you!

I believe that we are already whole, and our innate wisdom is best accessed when we feel safe to be seen, to share, and to reflect. I specialize in grief work, spiritual and existential integration, and mindfulness-based approaches to mental health. I studied for three years with my meditation teacher, Ram Dass, in Hawaii, and my MSW specialized in the decolonization of social work.

My approach to therapy

I have worked with a wide range of people in all life stages, but I specialize in grief, end-of-life issues, existential crises, spirituality, anxiety, depression, mindfulness, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I take a dynamic and person-centered approach that integrates multiple modalities, but at the core, I believe in each human's innate ability to heal, transform, and live an authentic life.

What you can expect from me

I work with clients to get in touch with their own core needs and deepest-held values, and we work together to set realistic, attainable, and life-enhancing goals. A lot of this work entails developing self-compassion, learning to identify and detach from habitual ruminating thought, and increasing the ability to feel and accept difficult emotions.
