ABOUT

We are in this together.  

We are meant to walk alongside each other, not separate from one another.  I know this work from the inside. I once met life with resistance—trying to control it, measure up, or escape its terms.

 

Meditation and yoga opened the first doorway, softening my relationship with myself and my body. Internal Family Systems and somatic attachment theory then gave language and structure to what I was living: a shift from being trapped in expectation and self-protection to experiencing resilience, relationship, and a growing sense of freedom. This path continues to shape how I sit with you—grounded, human, and deeply respectful of the pace at which real change unfolds.

MY PATH

Therapy is my second career.

I began in human rights and public law, where the work centers on naming harm and accountability. What stayed with me was a deeper question: once harm is acknowledged, what actually helps people heal? I wanted to work in a way that centered people rather than problems—shifting from fault-finding toward meeting what is needed for repair, resilience, and growth.

A never-ending well of aliveness and curiosity brought me here. 

Grounded in a deep interest in people, relationships, and the dynamics that shape us. There is a steady fire within this work—an attention to connection, growth, and what allows life to move more freely. From that place, calm and peace arise not as escape, but as lived states, alongside resilience, presence, and trust in life as it unfolds.

MY POWER

On identifying as a HSP

I identify as a highly sensitive person, a trait rooted in sensory processing sensitivity. I once experienced this sensitivity as a hindrance—an ongoing state of sensory and emotional overload. Through understanding and integration, I learned how to relate to it with regulation and authenticity, allowing sensitivity to become a capacity that is lived skillfully rather than a source of overwhelm.

 

This perspective now informs my clinical work, offering a grounded, respectful approach to sensitivity as a capacity that can be integrated and lived well.
