Welcome! I am a holistic psychotherapist with a background in yoga, meditation, wellness and Reiki. I address depressed and anxious emotions with a mind body spirit approach drawing upon ancient Eastern wisdom, Buddhism practices and through psychodynamic theory.

Are you navigating a big life change and feeling lost? Do you feel fear and overthink your decisions and second guess yourself everyday? Are you feeling depressed and lonely even when there are so many people around you? Is it hard to switch that critical voice that's on all the time? Whether you deal with work/relationship related issues, perfectionism tendencies, low self confidence, overdoing and burnout, hurt from past traumas or shame - you'll find yourself in safe and nonjudgemental space for healing and emotional holding to take place.
