Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with adults seeking support with acute and complex trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, long term illness, greater relationship satisfaction and power imbalances at work, home and in the larger social spheres.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and supported by evidenced-based practices, (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction), as well as the lessons to be learned from nature and ancient ways of healing and being.

What you can expect from me

Drawing on Buddhist psychology, harm reduction and the wisdom within you, I work with clients to move through and process life challenges by providing a nonjudgmental and empowering therapeutic space.
