Cultivating the conditions for profound transformation.
FIND YOUR WAY BACK.
I believe healing happens within the context of relationship relationship to ourselves, our bodies, our histories, our communities, and the people we love.
My therapeutic approach is informed by contemplative psychology, trauma-informed care, relational healing, and multicultural awareness. Together, we explore not only symptoms and challenges, but the deeper patterns, beliefs, emotions, and experiences that shape how you move through the world.
My work draws from disciplines including:
• Buddhist-Informed Contemplative Counseling
• Trauma-Informed Care & Resilience Studies
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Attachment & Relational Psychology
• Somatic Awareness & Embodiment Practices
• Group Therapy & Collective Healing
• Multicultural & Liberation Psychology
• Queer & BIPOC Healing Frameworks
• Harm Reduction Approaches
• Mindfulness & Meditation Practices
• Compassion-Focused Approaches
• Narrative Therapy & Meaning-Making Practices
• Conflict Transformation & Relational Repair
• Emotional Intelligence & Self-Awareness Development
• Systems Thinking & Social Context Awareness
• Spiritual Wisdom Traditions
• Grief, Life Transitions, and Identity Development
Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I integrate multiple perspectives to honor the complexity of being human. I view many struggles not as signs of pathology, but as intelligent adaptations to life's challenges, relationships, and environments.
My intention is to create a space where you can explore your experience with curiosity, compassion, and honesty, cultivating greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, meaningful connection, and trust in your own capacity to heal.
Therapy is not about becoming someone else.
It is about developing the freedom to be more fully yourself.
