Your story matters. I specialize in exploring meaning-making, existential questions, self-identity, and self-concept. My work emphasizes how self-understanding is transformative in helping people claim their story and live it authentically. With compassion, and a grounding presence, I aim to provide a space where your concerns are heard, cared for, and validated. I specialize in individuals, couples and families who are interested in understanding their story and creating change in their life. If this resonates with you, please reach out to me. “Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward.” - Kierkegaard

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Counseling Psychology with extensive experience in both the research and practice of psychotherapy. My studies have brought me to Asia, Southern California, the American Midwest, and Western Canada. As a yoga teacher, I lived and studied in India at the base of the Himalayas and specialized in mindfulness, breathwork, and movement.

In my therapeutic work, I aim to integrate the Western-based art of psychotherapy with Eastern-based philosophies of inquiry, mindfulness, and presence. I am passionate about helping people make peace with themselves and find a path that allows them to author their own stories with self-acceptance, courage, and resilience. I look forward to working with you.
