Message to clients

When we take the courageous journey inside ourselves, whether for healing, greater self-awareness, or liberation, it helps to have an environment imbued with trust, safety, curiosity, and care. It also helps to have a guide, or a mirror, someone to reflect our blind spots and offer light on the path out of darkness. Healing is an alchemical process; we transform adversity into meaningful experiences that help us grow and become who we are meant to be. My work involves providing such a space, without judgement, to allow you the opportunity to heal and evolve.

As a contemplative psychiatric nurse practitioner, I integrate Western medicine, psychotherapy, and neuroscience with Buddhist and yoga philosophy, mindfulness and compassion-based practices, including meditation, breath-work, and attention to the physical body. My approach is collaborative and holistic, and I can prescribe psychotropic medications or recommend supplements if that might be helpful in your process. I work with adults of any age, who are experiencing a wide array of difficulties and are interested in living consciously.

My hope is to support you along the path to living a meaningful life. Areas of focus might include self-empowerment, restoring healthy boundaries, increasing self-compassion and decreasing the self-critical internal voice, cultivating connection to self and others, and learning to sit with strong emotions with ease and spaciousness. I will meet you where you are and together, we can create a unique treatment approach to help you reach your goals of healing and self-development.
