Hello, thanks for stopping by. I'm trained in evidence-based psychotherapy, formed by Buddhist practice, twice certified in psychedelic facilitation, and kept honest by my own healing. Before this, I ran things: global brands, meditation centers, a media company. What I've learned along the way is that everyone is carrying something and needs a place to put it down. Most people have talked about it plenty, but never actually felt it all the way through. To do that, you need someone you trust with you.
The worry that won't shut off. Work that's eating you up inside. Rumination stealing your sleep, a relationship under strain, a loss that won't move along. This is where I work. I provide evidence-informed, equitable, and deeply relational care, drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic therapy, reciprocity, and contemplative practice.
My practice spans talk therapy, medicine work, and the stuff in between. I sit with people while they come apart and reassemble. Sometimes that's a Tuesday therapy session, sometimes it's an eight-hour journey.
Gratitude
"I feel like I wasted so much time just going through the motions. Nothing in my life felt like enough. That's all changed. I feel like myself. My purpose is clearer. I'm still working on myself, but it no longer feels like work."
"We'd been in couples therapy before. It didn't work. I almost didn't try again. But something about working with you was different. You didn't let us spiral. We found our way back to why we love each other."
"Thank you for playing such an important role in my process. Without your support and guidance, my journey would have looked very different. I'm so satisfied with how it went. Truly a life changing experience."
"I don't know exactly when, but somewhere along the way of working together I stopped being confused about what I wanted. Shit I'd been carrying for years felt lighter. My life's different now. Thank you."
