Psychotherapy / Counseling
In my private psychotherapy practice, I have the honor and joy of helping fellow life-travelers gain clarity about their experiences, relationships, and life paths. I believe we all possess an innate wisdom that can guide us toward balance and fulfillment. Sometimes, however, past experiences, unexamined patterns, and unresolved emotions cloud our ability to access this inner clarity. That’s where psychotherapy can provide profound support.
With a foundation in neuroscience, psychotherapy, and integrative tools such as somatic practices, meditation, and conscious breathing, I offer a holistic approach to healing. By combining evidence-based methods with mindfulness and body-centered techniques, we can address the mind-body connection to release what no longer serves you, accept what cannot be changed, and cultivate a vision for a meaningful future.
Notably, research has demonstrated that online psychotherapy is as effective as in-person therapy for various mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety. This means that, regardless of your location, you can access quality therapeutic support that aligns with your needs and schedule.
Exploring the Patterns That Hold Us Back
Questions like these often bring people to therapy:
“Why do I feel so dissatisfied with my life?”
“Why do the same patterns and problems repeat in my relationships?”
“Why do I seek refuge in food, alcohol, or other unhealthy habits?”
Developing awareness is the first step toward a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Many of the patterns that shape our behaviors, emotions, and choices stem from years of conditioning, repression, or a lack of nurturing support. Often, we become so focused on pleasing others or managing external demands that we lose sight of our own needs, desires, and boundaries.
When these patterns become habitual, they block our energy, creativity, and joy. We may feel stuck, bored, or disconnected and seek temporary relief in distractions that ultimately leave us unfulfilled.
The Path to Healing and Growth
Through compassionate, effective psychotherapy, we can begin to untangle these patterns and develop greater mindfulness about how they influence our lives. By bringing awareness to these cycles, we gain the ability to consciously choose which patterns to keep, which to transform, and which to let go of.
Together, we will explore the root causes of your struggles, working through difficult emotions and experiences in a safe, supportive space. Tools like somatic awareness, conscious breathing, and meditation help integrate these discoveries into the body and mind, creating lasting change. This process not only frees you from the grip of old habits but also allows you to cultivate self-compassion, build healthier boundaries, and experience a deeper connection with yourself and others.
Becoming friends with yourself is foundational to repairing relationships and creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. When you approach life from a place of clarity and self-acceptance, your relationships, choices, and sense of purpose naturally transform.

Chronic stress and low energy
Anger, disappointment, and unresolved hurt

Counseling: A More Targeted Approach
While psychotherapy is an in-depth process of co-discovery and transformation, counseling offers focused guidance for specific issues. In my counseling practice, I draw on a blend of Gestalt training, Family Systems processes, neuroscience, coaching, meditation, and other practical tools to help you find creative solutions to life’s challenges. Counseling sessions are goal-oriented and can provide immediate relief and actionable strategies for:
Managing stress
Quieting overactive thinking
Navigating professional relationships
Cultivating joy and satisfaction in everyday life
Whether you seek deep healing or targeted support, our work together will be tailored to your unique needs. Combining science, mindfulness, and ancient wisdom, we will create a path toward greater freedom, resilience, and fulfillment.
