my approach

I am a humanistic, relational therapist who focuses on the present-moment experience. I believe that the connection we build and the safe, supportive space of our session can lead to meaningful insight, breakthrough moments, and real growth.

Through developing awareness, mindfulness, and curiosity, we can begin to see your life and struggles from new perspectives. My approach is rooted in an existential-phenomenological lens, which means we explore your experiences as they are, with openness and without judgment—something to be discovered rather than fixed.

I see phenomena like depression, anxiety, loneliness, and relationship difficulties as deeply human experiences. When we can gently turn toward them, rather than away, growth becomes possible.

In our work we’ll experiment with somatic awareness and parts-work as well as exploring early experiences and trauma, attachment patterns, cope mechanism, systemic social harms. I’m interested in both your pain and your inner wisdom—your wounds as well as your vitality.

Life is expressed in tension. Learning how to be with that tension, rather than fight it, can become a powerful and creative process.

People come to see me for support with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness, self-criticism, immigration experiences, artists’ struggles, career and work challenges, relationship issues, ADHD, OCD, grief, parenting and more.
