About me and my therapy practice
To transform our lives, we need to understand better what we're working with. So often we habitually push away the difficult and uncomfortable aspects of our experience which only leads to more suffering. Therapy is an opportunity to reverse that tendency as we open out to our lives as lived. As we explore our inner world, with all its mystery and complexity, the patterns that shape our lives begin to reveal themselves. With a dedication to be with whatever reveals itself, possibilities will emerge. And, as your therapist, it is my commitment to be side-by-side with you through that process.
Practice description
I offer a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental space for whatever you want to bring. Clients come to therapy for all manner of reasons. What unites those who embark on the journey is a readiness to look at what's there.
My practice is rooted in existential phenomenology which means we work together diligently to uncover and understand your experience. As we confront the challenges you might face, however tricky, we will explore the possibility of a life with more freedom and meaning.
I integrate some of the other modalities I have studied, particularly Buddhism, which I practice and teach. I don't believe there is any template for therapy, each session should be a dynamic, alive encounter that challenges and renews.

About me and my therapy practice
Knowing where to start with therapy can feel daunting. We can find ourselves caught in patterns that no longer serve us, but we still need to figure out where to begin. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore the inner workings of our minds with depth, curiosity, and commitment. Through the process, we make choices that lead towards more openness, purpose, and freedom.
The space I offer is supportive, confidential, and nonjudgmental. I do not attempt to diagnose you. Instead, we will explore your lived experience together so you can better understand how you inhabit the world and how you want to live.
Life is challenging and confronting, and therapy presents an opportunity to use those struggles to deepen our understanding and grow. The ultimate aim of the therapeutic process is for you to be able to let go of the patterns that no longer serve you so you can live more in alignment with your values.
My training is rooted in existential theory, and my practice is integrative. I draw from a range of modalities I have studied to offer a framework that best supports you. My work is informed by Buddhism which I practice and teach, as well as my background in storytelling. I also have a particular curiosity in processes of transformation and am writing a doctorate on the role of psychedelics in facilitating radical change.
I offer a free initial twenty-minute Zoom session, which allows us to explore your needs and get a sense of whether we'd work well together. If you are interested in an introductory chat or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
