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 centers around 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 of being, alongside resilience, presence, and trust in life as it unfolds.

At the Confluence –
where inner life, family, and world meet
My vision is to contribute to a world in which psychological healing is no longer a private, hyper-individualized project, but a relational, ecological, and communal act of care.
A world where clarity and simplicity are not escapes from complexity, but ways of standing inside it with steadiness.
Where families, children, and communities are recognized as legitimate sites of psychological wisdom.
Where tending the inner life becomes inseparable from tending the living world.
My work gestures toward this world—quietly, seriously, and with room for lightness—offering language, orientation, and companionship rather than "solutions" to "problems."
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.
