Most therapy asks what's wrong with you.
We ask something harder.
What does it mean to live well after loss? Who are you on the other side of rupture? What do you actually owe yourself—and others?
These are not symptoms to treat. They are questions worth sitting with. This is a space for that.
GRIEF & LOSS
When loss takes many forms
Relational loss, pet loss, social isolation, death, divorce, family ruptures, prolonged anxiety, depression & loneliness.
COUPLES & FAMILIES
At pivotal crossroads
Couples where connection has frayed, families rebuilding after rupture, and mother-daughter relationships in all their complexity.
THE APPROACH
Philosophical, not merely psychological
Clinical skill with embodied presence, meaning-making & creative expression. Our struggles are often philosophical in nature.
A different kind of path
In an age increasingly dominated by diagnosis, optimization, and self-help solutions, our conversations will take us toward a different path. We stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and begin asking deeper questions about meaning, freedom, ethics, identity, and how we truly ought to live.
Grief, loss & the weight of complexity
I specialize in grief from relational loss, pet loss, isolation, and loneliness. My clients navigate losses due to death, divorce, ruptures in family relationships or friendships, and many also live with prolonged anxiety, depression, and loneliness. My clients navigate death, divorce, family ruptures, prolonged anxiety, depression and loneliness.

Presence, meaning & the power of dialogue
My relational style and grounding in therapy help people change their lives in less time, even when past efforts failed. I integrate clinical skill with embodied presence, meaning-making & creative expression tailored to you. I believe deeply in the transformative power of therapeutic dialogue—our struggles are often philosophical, not merely psychological.
There is room here for all of it
Above all, I am an animal lover and poet, also a cancer survivor, an immigrant and a former humanitarian aid worker. I left home at fifteen and never stopped navigating loss, uncertainty and search for belonging. If you're ready to sit with life's harder questions and find your way toward meaning, purpose and freedom, I warmly and sincerely welcome you here.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Welcome home.
