Finding freedom through connection with yourself and others

As a psychotherapist and a Zen Buddhist priest, I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to uncover internal patterns that stand in the way of living of an authentic and vital life. I believe that our childhood experiences shape our psyches in ways that continue to play out across our relationships and our interactions with the world. With the courage to explore these patterns, we can free ourselves from their constraints and move towards a more genuine and fully realized version of ourselves. 

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy designed to facilitate free association, allowing insights from the unconscious to be brought into conscious awareness - so that we can learn to see what we haven't yet been able to bear. 

To support this depth work, I also offer DBT and EMDR to help manage dysregulation and trauma. If you're struggling with emotion dysregulation issues like borderline personality disorder, facing the grief of losing a loved one or your own capacities, or finding yourself prevented by anxiety and depression from living into your authentic self, please reach out to me.

I look forward to meeting you.
