For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying to understand what helps people heal, not only from personal pain, but also from the collective wounds that shape our world.

In my teens, I immersed myself in Zen Buddhism, yoga, and breathwork. Later, as a social scientist, I researched the roots of human suffering on a global scale, how systems, relationships, and experiences shape our lives.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College and a Ph.D. in Development Sociology from Cornell University, where I spent years researching how personal transformation and social change intertwine.

Yet, despite everything I studied, something was still missing, an embodied, relational understanding of healing.

That’s when I found NARM (the NeuroAffective Relational Model). NARM combines psychological depth with deep respect for the wisdom of the body and the human spirit. This approach to psychotherapy values curiosity and heartfulness rather than trying to figure people out or fixing them. It’s gentle, rather than invasive, and I’ve found it to be profoundly transformative for me and the people I work with.

Today, as a licensed psychotherapist (HPP) and certified NARM therapist, I help clients heal early relational wounds, integrate their experiences, and reconnect with themselves. My work is grounded in presence, compassion, and a deep trust in your innate capacity to heal.
