Welcome, I am truly grateful that you are here and ready to embark on the profound and rewarding journey of healing and transforming yourself and your closest relationships. Just as a seed contains everything necessary for growth, I believe you possess the same innate capacity within you, as we all do. Together, we can uncover this inner wisdom and walk a path toward wholeness and well-being, guided by your inner vision. My mission is to offer compassionate support along your journey, nurturing your connection to yourself and to those closest to you while helping you discover awareness, intuition, and meaning. Together, we can find light in the darkness of challenging experiences and create new opportunities for safety and connection.
I work with couples and individuals who are eager to uncover and transform the painful patterns of the past, seeking new ways of being in their lives and relationships. My clients typically include adults (18+) from diverse backgrounds and orientations. I assist those facing communication barriers, challenges with emotional and physical intimacy, relationship conflicts, depression, anxiety, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, complex family dynamics, chronic pain and illness, the effects of trauma, and questions of spirituality. I am especially passionate about helping couples navigate relational challenges to cultivate more meaningful and fulfilling relationships.
My therapeutic style is rooted in compassionate curiosity and emphasizes the importance of relationship, trust, and safety. My practice is informed by my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, which focuses on attachment bonding and creating relationship security through new experiences of understanding and intimacy. I also draw significantly from psychodynamic theories, where we explore unconscious patterns and beliefs that influence how we relate to ourselves and others in the present moment. Additionally, I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to facilitate deeper self-exploration, focusing on discovering and restoring parts of the self that may have been impacted by trauma or early attachment ruptures. I offer psychedelic integration to support you through ketamine-assisted therapy or therapeutic work with plant medicines. Together, we will identify supportive practices, like yoga, journaling, breathwork, and meditation, to nurture your growth. While I do not currently provide psychedelic-assisted therapy, I am more than happy to assist you in integrating those experiences.
My journey to becoming a therapist at Self Space has been a long and fulfilling one. I grew up in New York and spent many years in New England, where I worked as a biomedical engineer. I hold a Bachelor’s and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Brown University. Deep down, I have always aspired to make the world a better place. In my earlier career, I focused on improving global health and developing diagnostics in the biomedical sciences. However, I realized that I wanted to serve others on a more personal level, which ultimately inspired me to complete my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University. Having worked in research, medicine, and technology for many years, I am particularly drawn to supporting high-achieving and analytical clients in connecting with their emotions, bodies, spirits, and feeling states.
I am most at peace in nature and find solace and joy in wild places. I love to travel and backpack, whether it be in the Pacific Northwest, the High Sierra of California or the remote reaches of Nepal. I am a journeyer, both inward and outward, and I find deep meaning in exploring my own inner landscape through plant medicine, yoga, meditation, and journaling. It would be my greatest honor to walk with you along your path and explore the wisdom and joy that comes from a journey together.
