The Founder

The heart of my therapeutic work is to hold space for people to feel the full range of their emotions and to become unnecessary in their own healing as quickly and effectively as possible. Many of us have been taught that our struggles are too much—or not enough—that we don’t deserve happiness, or that our pain pales in comparison to others’. Yet these emotions, even the hardest and darkest, hold important truths. My goal is to help clients walk more freely, autonomously, and sovereign through the beauty and complexity of being alive.

At the core of this work is a radical commitment to consent—supporting clients in recognizing it within their bodies, minds, and hearts, and empowering them to live in alignment with it. Together, we explore the places that may have felt too scary to visit or share until now. Shame can cast a shadow over these areas, but in therapy, you can find a space of acceptance, radical compassion, and care. I help clients notice where feelings are driving behaviors or attached to old beliefs, honor the protective stories these parts once carried, and gently release what no longer serves them.

My approach is not about pushing or directing, but about honoring unconscious defenses, asking questions that invite rather than compel, and guiding while preserving autonomy. Therapy is rooted in creating the conditions for a full life: alternatives to suffering, pathways to joy, and the possibility of transformation. I recognize that individual, familial, and community suffering are inseparable from cultural, economic, and political systems, and that mental health struggles are often natural responses to oppression and imbalance.

Together, we cultivate emotional resilience and stress tolerance, helping you reclaim your strength and show up in the world as your full, authentic self.
