A Little About Me

My path has been largely influenced by the experience of running a reforestation project and spiritual community in South India. During my time working with a community on reforestation, water conservation, and sustainable living goals, I came to see ecological restoration as a rich model for understanding people: how can we compost our hurt, our pain, and our suffering, to create fertile ground to live our lives powerfully, consciously, and joyfully? My work as a therapist is part of an ongoing spiritual path of service.

My work with clients is grounded in the belief that every person has the innate capacity to find healing within themselves. I see my role as a therapist as being here to support you in developing this innate capacity to learn, to grow, and to powerfully envision and create your own life.

Ideally, a therapist is someone who you can build safety, connection, intimacy, and understanding with. A therapist should be someone who helps you to feel seen and supports you to become yourself. This is no small feat. My hope is that arriving here can be a moment of relief. I encourage you to reach out and hope that we can speak soon. Even if you decide that I am not the right person to support you at the time, I am committed to connecting you with resources to help support you as you find your way forward
