About My Clients

The individuals I work with are often deep thinkers, caregivers, creatives, professionals, and seekers. Many are people who long for a more grounded, meaningful, and connected life but find themselves caught in cycles of anxiety, self-criticism, depression, or emotional disconnection. Some feel overwhelmed by stress or past trauma. Others are navigating difficult transitions, strained relationships, or a general sense that something is “off,” even if life looks fine on the surface.

My Background and Approach

Often, we may find ourselves feeling disconnected from others or from ourselves, or feeling stuck and unable to live the life we long for. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic space where we can explore these difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences together. My work is anchored in Buddhist psychology, and I use the process of radical acceptance to help you stop fighting and resisting the parts of yourself you may not like. Instead, I encourage you to meet those parts with compassion freeing up energy once spent resisting pain and redirecting it toward healing and growth. By accepting what is, without judgment, people often discover a deeper sense of peace, clarity, and emotional resilience even in the face of suffering.
