Holding the whole self in balance
Like the stones in a zen cairn, different parts of the self must be held in balance with one another.
I take a holistic approach to therapy, attending to my clients’ emotional, social, physical and spiritual needs in tandem. My work integrates therapy, coaching, neuroscience research, spirituality, and considerations for good sleep, nourishment, and movement.
Therapy is a non-linear, gradual process that unfolds in widening circles of understanding. My role is to help you see the continuity in your growth, to revisit old stories not to repeat them, but to see their patterns from a broader, more compassionate perspective.
Because we do not exist in isolation, therapy focused only on the individual can be incomplete. The heart of my philosophy is fostering deeper, healthier connections and helping you build a strong support system outside therapy.
Ultimately, therapy is a way for you to intentionally shape your inner world with patience and care. Blending eastern and western philosophy, my practice aims to make mental health care more accessible — rooted in tenderness, co-regulation and the belief that beauty can be re-stitched into one’s life.
The threads I weave together
Like the stones in a Zen cairn, the different parts of the self can rest in balance with one another.
Non-linear
Growth rarely follows a straight line. Making room for pauses, returns, detours and unexpected openings, with curiosity and humility.
Holistic
Holding the whole self: mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experience.
Experiential
Moving beyond knowing about ourselves to experiencing what is here.
Process-based
Staying with what is unfolding, rather than rushing towards an outcome.
Values-led
Our work is guided by what matters most to you.
Integrative
Drawing from different ways of understanding, while staying responsive to the person as a whole.
Relational
Healing can begin when you feel safe, seen, and heard.
Neuroscience
Grounded in research on how the brain and body regulate and heal.
Eastern & Western
Blending philosophies to make mental health care more accessible.
Tenderness
Co-regulation and the belief that beauty can be re-stitched into life.
