I help people break free from the cycle of stress and anxiety through practical techniques and personalized strategies for personal growth. With a background in mindfulness, meditation, and psychedelic-assisted therapy, I take a holistic approach to therapy, creating a comfortable space where you can explore challenges, gain new perspectives, and deepen your understanding of your emotions without feeling judged or pressured.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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 unique perspective and experiences, and we'll start to outline a tentative plan for our future sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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.

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.
