My goal is to help you break free from the cycle of stress and anxiety through practical techniques and personalized strategies for growth. With a background in mindfulness, meditation, and psychedelic-assisted therapy, I take a holistic approach to therapy. Together we'll create a comfortable space where you can explore your challenges, gain perspective, and deepen your emotional awareness without feeling judged.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, we'll focus on creating a welcoming environment where you can comfortably share what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask about your background and current challenges to gain a deeper understanding of your perspective, and we'll outline how therapy can help you reach your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my deep integration of mindfulness practices and evidence-based therapeutic strategies. Unlike many who superficially incorporate mindfulness, I bring depth and authenticity to this practice, supported by my ongoing advanced training in meditation and Buddhist psychology. My approach is about deeply integrating mindfulness into our work together, not just using it as a buzzword. I excel in utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide practical, proven tools for navigating stress, anxiety, and career challenges. This combination allows me to guide clients towards enhanced self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience, offering a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern psychological techniques for lasting personal growth. I also focus on using science evidence-based strategies like ACT and CBT, to provide practical tools to help you navigate stress, anxiety, and career challenges. These proven techniques guide you towards deeper self-awareness, enhanced emotional intelligence, and resilience in stressful situations.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who are interested in applying mindfulness in their daily lives so they can feel less stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction in life. Whether you're navigating stress, career challenges, or relationship issues, you're ready to break free from old patterns and develop new ways of living. You’re seeking clarity, emotional resilience, and practical strategies to help you move forward with purpose.

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I specialize in integrating mindfulness and meditation into therapy. The goal is to help you better navigate life's challenges, gain new perspectives, and learn practical tools to improve your life.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the focus is on taking meaningful action guided by your values, even in the face of difficult emotions. This helps you accept what you can't control while helping you to live a more fulfilling life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, so you can change negative patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and responding.

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy focuses on identifying and changing deep-rooted patterns, or 'schemas,' that stem from childhood and influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present.
