Our life experiences form an unfolding personal narrative - a "dialog with life" made up of proud moments, struggles, and choices that shape who we become. Through mindfulness-based dialogical therapy, I help you understand the roots of your choices and discover new possibilities for how your story can unfold with intention.

My therapeutic approach blends reflective dialog, cognitive techniques, breathwork, journaling, and mindfulness practices, to support you in cultivating the courage, self-compassion and accountability to actively author the life you want to live.

By the time you "graduate" therapy, you'll have portable tools for sustainable growth. The cornerstones are: taking personal responsibility, acting with clarity and authenticity, and nurturing empowered relationships grounded in mutual understanding.
