Most likely, we will start with talk therapy, giving you the chance to unpack and settle into this work and relationship, and clarify your goals and intentions for therapy. Gradually, we may begin to work on goal-setting, narrative shifting, reframing unhelpful beliefs, confronting important relationship challenges, and processing painful experiences.

My clients would describe me as an attentive, unbiased, intuitive, direct, well-versed in the evidence-based as well as the experimental, flexible, pragmatic, kind, and friendly.

I spent seven of my most formative years living in Buddhist monasteries, where I was ordained as a monk and received training in meditation practice, spiritual counseling, and Buddhist ethics. I also have received training in chaplaincy and grief counseling, and have hospice social work experience.
