dear reader,

What follows isn’t a website, exactly. It’s a letter—about how I work, what I believe, and what it might be like to sit across from each other. Read it slowly. There is no menu. Only a scroll, and the pace of your own attention.

You found your way here. That means something.

how I understand this work ___________________

"Reality denied comes back to haunt." - Philip K. Dick

We are often shaped by forces we don’t fully see—habits of thought, unconscious patterns, and early ways of relating that quietly organize our lives. Our work is an exploration of what it means to be human, including how we relate to our thoughts, our desires, and the often unseen patterns that shape our lives. The aim of therapy is not to eliminate discomfort, but to change our relationship to it. Our work through mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, psychoanalysis, and acceptance-based approaches, we will being to notice patterns, loosen rigid identities, and cultivate a more flexible way of being.

what I believe ____________________

Here are fifteen principles that shape my work. They are not rules. They are derived from theoretical orientations—the guiding framework that therapists use to help conceptualize the human experience.

1. Psychological flexibility —> The capacity to respond rather than react, even in the presence of discomfort.

2. Courage to confront the self —> A willingness to encounter uncomfortable truths without retreat.

3. Language as shaping experience —> Attending to how words and narratives organize perception and possibility.

4. Acceptance of inner experience —> Thoughts and emotions are engaged with, not avoided or suppressed.

5. Curiosity about the unconscious —> A respect for the unseen forces shaping behavior, without reducing people to them.

6. Freedom through insight —> Understanding as a pathway to expanded choice, not just explanation.

7. Non-attachment to identity —> A willingness to loosen rigid self-concepts and inherited narratives.

8. Tolerance for ambiguity —> Comfort with opposite truths, contradiction, and not-knowing.

9. Collaborative inquiry —> Therapy as a shared investigation, not a one-sided intervention.

10. Meaning through action —> A life shaped by what one does, not only what one understands.

11. Engagement with reality as it is —> Letting go of how things “should” be in favor of direct contact with what is.

12. Exploration of desire —> Taking seriously what one wants, including its contradictions and tensions.

13. Recognition of repetition —> Noticing how unresolved patterns reappear across relationships and contexts.

14. Integration over fragmentation —> Bringing together disparate parts of the self into a more coherent whole.

15. Relational awareness —> Seeing how meaning and identity are shaped within relationships, including the therapeutic one.

what I’ve studied ____________________

I tend to understand most psychological pain as, in some way, relational. Conflict—whether between people or within the self—often points toward what is asking to be seen more closely. I believe that the quality of our relationships determine the quality of our lives, which is why I have devoted my clinical work to relational intimacy. Alongside this, spirituality and mindfulness serve as a kind of cornerstone in my work—offering a way of returning to presence, deepening connection, and seeing both ourselves and our lives with greater clarity and compassion.

  • Individual Psychotherapy

    Our most important relationship is our relationship with ourselves. While your feelings might be valid, they also might be causing you distress. Psychotherapy is the journey to the depths of self.

  • Couples Therapy

    Our (second) most important relationship in our modern world is with our partner. Couples therapy provides a space to hear your partner differently, perhaps for the first time. It is never too early to start couples therapy— the biggest mistake my couples make is starting therapy too late.
