About

My orientation towards psychology was born out of my own difficulties in life; I want to make sure that those who seek help are able to get it. That said, I do best with clients who are at their worst, rock bottom. Fear of death and existential concerns, intrusive thoughts and urges, powerful and intense emotions, chronic stress and fatigue, loss of sense of self, lack of meaning and purpose in life, not being able to tell what's real and what isn't, regardless what it is, I am prepared to help you. Whatever is your breaking point is the point at which you can change your life forever, I can help you through that process. The only way out is through. Most of my work is value-oriented and based in existential and nondual philosophy, ecological/systems, relational, behavioral, and transpersonal schools of thought. I also utilize my expertise in mindfulness and meditation, acceptance and commitment therapy, Internal Family Systems, and dialectical behavior therapy, along with a variety of experiential therapeutic techniques from various theories and traditions. I know what it is to truly suffer, so much of it can change if you're willing to just talk about it or reframe it. You can be helped, all you need to do is ask. If I can't help you, I'll find you someone who can. No one deserves to go on suffering, no matter how big or small the problem. It is my life's work to help relieve the suffering of others.
