I’m a trauma-informed psychologist and researcher specializing in the intersections of story, psyche, and philosophy/spirituality, treating individuals with expat adjustment, identity exploration and LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, chronic pain or trauma. I further specialize in attachment and couples therapy, and my approach is informed by these same intersections, but with a sense of the intricate dance couples build.

According to EFT and the Gottmans' attachment findings in partnerships, there are often unique, unseen access points, specific to couples themselves, that research-informed guidance can illuminate. I offer couples therapy based on peer-reviewed methodologies to support partners seeking more profound entry, in deepening connection, trust, and understanding. My approach focuses on fostering healing communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening the bond between partners.

My training allows me to meet clients, whether individuals or couples, in their full complexity—intellectually, emotionally, relationally, philosophically, and spiritually. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationship patterns, trauma recovery, or wider existential questions, I offer a research-informed space that is both grounded and expansive.

I draw on a wide range of research modalities and traditions, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic awareness, trauma-sensitive mindfulness and yoga, narrative therapy, and humanistic ethics of care, as well as philosophical/spiritual frameworks. My work is informed by current research in attachment, affect regulation, and the science behind ancient contemplative practices—and also by many years of listening to people’s stories, in classrooms, editorial meetings, on retreat, and in therapy rooms.

My style is warm, curious, empathic, and intuitive. It is co-creative and narrative-based even while applying peer-reviewed research. I tend to work deeply with people who feel "in between": between worlds, roles, relationships, identities, or belief systems. Many of my clients are LGBTQ+ individuals or couples, former members of fundamentalist systems, creatives and academics living with high sensitivity, or caregivers trying to balance personal healing with outer responsibilities. They come to therapy not only to feel better, but to understand themselves more truthfully—and to live with more coherence and connection.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in your (and your partner's) capacity to come home to yourself. I offer a nonjudgmental space for you to explore the things that feel too much, too tender, or too tangled to unpack alone. Together, we’ll work to recognize and loosen old patterns, build emotional clarity, and rediscover your own rhythm and authority. Whether you're recovering from trauma, navigating complex relationships, processing spiritual loss, or simply longing to live more fully in your own truth, I welcome you with respect, presence, and a deep commitment to your healing. I’m not here to “fix” you—but to walk alongside you as you re-member/put gently together who you are and what you need to thrive.
