A PRESENT MOMENT APPROACH
Cradled in the unfolding mysteries of the present moment I invite you to approach adversity and its messengers not as a problem, but rather, as the perfect companion .

Psychotherapy
My inclination is to invite a spirit of radical acceptance and fierce self-compassion. Rather than using a prescribed model of treatment, I work from an attuned and responsive approach to the present moment. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, the invitation I offer is to slow down and tune into your direct experience of life outside of the conceptual world—the raging emotions in the body, the rhythmic flow of your breath, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all as sacred portals of possibility, as the dying of one world and the birth of a new world.
A great deal of my work has focused on bringing a sense of safety and trust to people who have a history of trauma. It has been my experience that adversity can be used to catalyze growth and personal empowerment rather than merely acting as something to travel out of or through as quickly as possible. While recognizing the impact of adversity, my goal is to co-create ways to work with and leverage these experiences rather than be consumed by them.

Contemplative & Somatic Coaching
Contemplative and somatic coaching offers a space to slow down, listen deeply, and explore your experience with curiosity, compassion, and openness.
Rooted in Buddhist contemplative practice, somatic awareness, and a holistic understanding of human experience, this work invites you to move beyond habitual patterns of thinking and reconnect with the wisdom of your body and your direct experience.
Rather than focusing on fixing yourself or striving toward an ideal version of who you should be, our work together centers on meeting life as it is. Through mindful inquiry, embodied awareness, movement, and creative exploration, we make room for greater clarity, choice, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and the world around you.
This is a collaborative, non-diagnostic approach that honors your unique experience and unfolds according to your needs, interests, and intentions.
