About

Are you feeling dragged down by life's challenges? The Zen proverb 'Let go, or be dragged' reminds us that in order to be free of suffering, we must let go. I am inspired by secular Buddhism and believe that suffering is an innate human experience, not created from life's problems, but from our clinging to "the way things should be" and resisting impermanence and change. I help individuals develop acceptance through mindfulness and other Eastern teachings to provide them with freedom to flow with life and equanimity to remain calm even amongst the most chaotic storms.

I have witnessed the transformative power of this work and am passionate about helping others find inner peace. I have training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Breathwork, Somatic Integrative IFS, DBT, LGBTQ+ issues (including Gender Affirming work). I have interests in LGBTQ+ advocacy, spirituality, meditation, and dreams.

I understand the importance of feeling safe and understood in therapy, especially for LGBTQ+ folks. I am here to walk with you on your journey of personal growth, to provide you with new perspective and tools. If you are willing to step back, slow down, and sit with the mind, you may learn "life is not as serious as the mind makes it out to be" Eckhart Tolle
