My approach to therapy is informed by a lifelong dedication to perceiving all living beings in their complexity. In practice, this approach involves holding everyone’s experience as their own, whilst simultaneously holding space for the areas where our personal stories converge with cultural, familial, and ancestral narratives. Rather than perceiving people in isolation, I lean towards understanding people as ecologies that exist within larger ecologies.

I entered therapeutic training with a profound curiosity about the intricate dynamics that inform how we relate to ourselves and each other. I view my professional background as inextricably tied to my personal history and lived experiences. I come from a family of self-proclaimed misfits with a passion for artistic expression and systems thinking, which provided me with a deep-seated appreciation for perceiving the interconnectedness between all living creatures. Through my lived experience, academic pursuits, and clinical background, I've gained valuable insights into the intricate web of relationships and patterns that shape our lives.

My therapeutic approach is informed by this systemic perspective, which acknowledges the importance of considering the broader contexts in which individuals exist. I believe that true healing occurs when we understand the intricate interplay between our internal experiences and the external systems that influence us. Whether you are facing personal challenges, struggling with relational dynamics, or navigating organizational issues, I'm here to offer a supportive environment where you can feel empowered to explore thoughts and emotions without judgment.  

I am deeply committed to fostering growth, resilience, and holistic well-being. By collaboratively unpacking the complexities of your life's systems, we can work together to cultivate meaningful change and facilitate your journey towards greater fulfillment and balance.
