Welcome

I provide psychotherapy to those who are seeking help with the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life.

Psychotherapy is a unique and powerful process of investigation. This process requires curiosity, openness, and safety - all of which I will bring into our sessions. We may uncover parts of yourself that have been hidden, both to others and even to you. We will meet what we find with compassion and explore how to turn greater knowledge of self into greater happiness. When you understand yourself and your experiences in this profound way, you will experience greater peace.

"Of all the many things that people value and care for in the world, the mind is the most precious. In fact, the mind is the foremost treasure in the whole world, so be sure to look after it well."

- Ajahn Mun
