Therapy Approach

I specialize in supporting adults through grief, loss, trauma, and the quiet, complex forms of suffering that often go unseen. My work is grounded in the belief — shared by both contemplative traditions and contemporary psychology — that healing begins when we can meet our inner experience with clarity and compassion.

Integrating grief counseling, Buddhist psychology, mindfulness and somatic therapies, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and EMDR, I help clients cultivate the tools needed to hold painful emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. EMDR allows us to work gently and effectively with the nervous system, helping to move through trauma and persistent emotional pain, while mindfulness and somatic therapies as well as ACT and IFS support the development of resilience, self-understanding, and reconnection with meaning and purpose, honoring both pain and the capacity for renewal.

Approaches I Use
