I believe that humans are wired for meaning, connection, and belonging. Most of our struggles in life are intimately tied to how we experience our relationships—including with ourselves—and how we find purpose. Through a unique integration of Western and Eastern principles of human thriving, I support individuals and couples seeking emotional, sexual, and spiritual wholeness, as well as deeper healing and intimacy in their relationships with themselves and others. As awareness precedes power, my goal is to help clients increase in self-understanding so they feel empowered to then address personal difficulties on their own terms.
My training is in understanding relational, social, and trans-generational systems, so I look at client concerns holistically. I’ve received advanced training in differentiation and attachment theories, sexual health and sex therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Imago, and Mindfulness-based therapies.
I also have extensive experience and unique insight into understanding the component parts of healthy and sustainable life paths for sexual and gender minorities, particularly faith-based individuals whose desires for their lives fall outside of the cultural mainstream and who seek professional and therapeutic support that aligns with their personal values.
