Awaken Insight

Recognizing when you’re overwhelmed isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s wisdom. Whether you’re sick of getting stuck in the same old painful ruts or feeling overwhelmed by a new life development, I’m here to help guide you through.

I specialize in providing contemplative, trauma-informed care for LGBTQ+ individuals, military members and their families, people in recovery from substance abuse and addiction, and black sheep of all types. I also enjoy guiding people of all persuasions to understand and accept themselves more deeply so they can resolve struggles with identity, meaning, and life purpose and live in a greater sense of harmony with themselves and the world.

I blend western depth-oriented clinical approaches such as Jungian psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems together with my experience as a Zen Buddhist meditation teacher and practitioner. Whether we’re exploring the dream you had last night or workshopping a new boundary with your partner, we’ll practice relying on your own inner wisdom to show us the way forward.

Therapy is a collaborative process built on mutual respect, trust, and open communication. Past clients have described me as honest, kind, humorous, insightful, and authentic. They appreciate my unbiased guidance and the safe space I create, where they feel comfortable exploring all aspects of their lives without fear of judgment.
