About My Clients
In our painful and disorienting times, it is all too easy to feel we are losing touch with who we are and what gives meaning to our lives. Powerful forces around and within us contribute to overwhelm, lostness, shame, and stuckness in repetitive patterns. I aspire to help those who consult me move beyond these patterns, as well as imagine and manifest possibilities for different ways of being in the world.
My Background and Approach
The therapeutic practices I work with are informed by Buddhist contemplative traditions, psychoanalysis, and modern traditions of social critique. Slowing down to feel our experience brings into focus stories that have limited us. Deconstructing these stories within a social justice framework opens space for meanings that more fully honor our deeper values.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Some of the values I aspire to stay close to in my work are curiosity, empathy, humility, accountability and honoring diversity in identity and expressions of life. I identify as a Buddhist practitioner and draw upon Asian contemplative practices in my work when they are of interest to the people who consult me. I have completed advanced trainings at the Psychotherapy Institute of Back Bay Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Psychoanalysis and the Narrative Therapy Initiative. Before becoming a therapist, I completed a doctorate in philosophy at MIT.
