Who I Work Well With…
The work I offer sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and contemplative practice. It tends to resonate with those who are seeking not only relief, but integration — a way of living that feels more embodied, intentional, and awake.
The Spiritually Curious
You may feel drawn to mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or contemplative traditions. You sense there is something true there, even if you do not identify as Buddhist.
Perhaps you have practiced before. Perhaps you are just beginning. Either way, you want support that is trauma-informed, psychologically grounded, and woven carefully into your therapeutic work.
You are open. Curious. Willing to explore.
That is enough.
The Established Practitioner
You may already have a committed spiritual practice. Over time, deeper practice may have surfaced trauma, attachment wounds, or relational patterns that cannot be resolved in retreat or group settings alone.
You are not abandoning your path by seeking therapy. You are tending its roots.
This work can help integrate insight into daily life, support the nervous system when practice becomes destabilizing, and address patterns that contemplative awareness alone has not shifted.
The Deep Thinkers & Feelers Looking For A Unique Approach
Maybe you…
Carry trauma, shame, or nervous system overwhelm
Identify as autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, or otherwise neurodivergent
Move quickly through life and benefit from being slowed down
Feel intense emotions and want to relate to them differently
Struggle with intimacy, sexuality, or relational vulnerability
Are queer, trans, or exploring identity in ways that require affirming and supportive care
Want depth — not just coping, but integration
Some people I work with love mindfulness.
Some dislike it— or have had experiences with it that felt invalidating or overwhelming.
Mindfulness is not the “goal.”
Freedom from suffering is.
Mindfulness is one tool — and when offered skillfully and in a trauma-informed way, it can support regulation, clarity, and choice. But it is not imposed, and is adapted with care and flexibility. There are many pathways to growth. Together, we discover what works for you.
What matters more than any single technique is a willingness to engage honestly. To build skills. To stay with difficult material at a pace your nervous system can tolerate. To laugh when it helps. To keep moving toward growth — even when the movement is slower, messier, or more nonlinear than you hoped.
In this work, mindfulness is not used to silence or suppress. It is taught gently, practically, and in ways that honor trauma and neurodivergence. It becomes a way of building regulation and choice — not compliance.
Mindfulness in this work is experiential, relational, and adapted to your nervous system — not a rigid technique applied regardless of context.
Fit matters deeply. My ultimate wish for you, is that you walk a path of healing and find whoever you need to best support you on that journey. If something here resonates for you, I encourage you to reach out. Our first call is merely an exploration of the possibility of working together.
