About me

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Ph.D. candidate in Depth Psychology with a focus on integrative healing practices. Over the past eight years, I’ve supported individuals and families across diverse clinical settings—including schools, private practice, and NGOs. My work centers on helping clients reconnect with their authentic Self by gently exploring the uncharted terrain of the inner world. I believe that true transformation begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to what our symptoms, patterns, and longings are asking of us. Therapy with me isn’t about finding quick solutions. It’s about being witnessed in your vulnerability, meeting yourself with compassion, and remembering who you are beneath the protective layers that once kept you safe. Whether you're navigating grief, relational pain, life transitions, or the quiet ache of disconnection, I offer a grounded, compassionate space for deep inquiry and healing. If something here resonates, I invite you to reach out. We can begin with a conversation and explore what’s possible.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a spacious, collaborative beginning. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just come as you are. I’ll invite you to share what’s bringing you in, and together we’ll begin to explore what feels most alive, painful, or important in your current experience. I’ll be listening not only to your words, but to the deeper layers underneath: patterns, images, emotions, and longings that may be asking for attention. I’ll offer questions and reflections to help us begin mapping the terrain of your inner world, always at a pace that feels safe and grounded for you. There is no pressure to tell everything all at once. The first session is about building trust, finding language for what may feel complex or unspoken, and giving you a felt sense of whether this space feels right for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What makes my work unique is the way I listen, not just to what is said, but to what is not yet spoken. As a Depth-oriented therapist, I hold space for the unconscious patterns, ancestral echoes, forgotten dreams, and protective parts that quietly shape how you move through life and relationships. My approach is not about quick fixes or surface level coping strategies. It’s about creating a relationship where something deeper can unfold, where grief can be honored, stuckness explored with curiosity, and transformation invited through presence and integration. I draw from Jungian and psychodynamic traditions, weaving in somatic awareness, imaginal work, and trauma-informed care, all while staying deeply attuned to your rhythm and readiness.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who are deeply curious, those who sense that their symptoms, struggles, or patterns carry deeper meaning and long to understand the story beneath the surface. My clients may be navigating grief, life transitions, identity shifts, or the lingering echoes of abandonment or trauma. Many are highly introspective and sensitive, often feeling emotionally overloaded or disconnected despite outward success or resilience.

My treatment methods

Jungian

I incorporate Jungian Depth work to support clients in engaging their unconscious life—through dreams, archetypes, symbolic images, and the body’s wisdom. So much of our pain emerges not only from external relationships but from the inner parts of ourselves we’ve had to exile in order to survive. Together, we explore what’s been disowned or left in shadow, so it can return to the circle of your being. I work slowly and attuned, honoring your timing and thresholds.

Integrative

I believe that true transformation begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to what our symptoms, patterns, and longings are asking of us. Whether you're navigating grief, relational pain, life transitions, or the quiet ache of disconnection, I offer a grounded, compassionate space for deep inquiry and healing.

Relational

In relational therapy, we center the healing power of connection and attunement. The relationship we build together is not just a means to an end—it is the very space where change begins. I pay close attention to the dynamics between us as they arise, because I believe that the patterns showing up in your life will also find their way into the therapy room. Rather than pathologizing these patterns, we explore them together with curiosity and compassion, and—when necessary—we lean into repair. This creates an experience of being seen and responded to in a new way, one that supports the reworking of old relational wounds.
