individual therapy
Therapy is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and tend to the parts of you that have carried too much for too long. Whether you're facing stress, trauma, spiritual longing, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I offer a space where all of you is welcome.
My approach is wholehearted and contextual — honoring your biology, beliefs, relationships, culture, ancestry, and connection to the natural world. Rather than “fixing” what’s “wrong,” we’ll explore what’s needed for healing and integration. Rumi wrote, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” This perspective — that our pain is a portal — is central to the way I work. Because I believe that you are imbued with innate wisdom and profound capacity for healing, my approach to psychotherapy will support you in reclaiming well-being, inner peace, and transforming your wounds into wisdom.
Drawing from spiritual, somatic, and humanistic traditions, I support clients in cultivating self-awareness and self-insight, nervous system regulation, self-trust, and healthy boundaries. My therapy is grounded in a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach, honoring the full complexity of what makes us human — mind, body, expression, and meaning. Our work may include:
Breathwork and body-based practices
Somatic and emotional literacy
Mindfulness and self-compassion
Spiritual inquiry and contemplation
This biopsychosocial-spiritual lens supports nervous system regulation, self-trust, and healthy boundaries (and thus, healthy relationships). Whether you're spiritually curious, seeking, or practicing, you may find this approach especially resonant.
I hope to offer not just therapy, but a refuge — where you can be real, messy, fully yourself and experience a restorative sense of belonging.
pre-therapy assessment
Ensuring a Good Fit for Effective Therapy
Because alignment is essential, I use a pre-service prospective client assessment to help us determine whether we’re a good match at this time.
I bring an attuned and intuitive presence to the therapeutic relationship, which plays a central role in client’s feeling safe, seen, and courageous in diving deep. This means our work is most effective when your needs, goals, and readiness align with my approach, skills, and capacity. When the fit is right, the work can be deeply restorative. When there’s a mismatch, however, therapy can feel unproductive or draining.
To support the best possible outcomes, we’ll assess fit at the outset and continue checking in as we go. I’m committed to working within the limits of my scope and being transparent if I’m not the best person to support your progress. If that’s the case, I’ll offer referrals to trusted colleagues who may be a better fit. This is never personal — ensuring fit is foundational to ethical, effective care.
