ABOUT

Therapist, researcher, and student of the art and science of the soul.

I'm a PhD candidate in Psychology, deeply dedicated to the study of the transformative experiences of displacement and belonging. My research examines how individuals navigate rupture, integration, and the long work of coming home — to a place, to other people, and to themselves.

Whether through individual therapy, workshops, or collaborative initiatives, I support people in navigating the complexities of life and rerooting into the depth within.

What I do

With a background in political science, two master's degrees — in international development and psychology — and an array of certifications, trainings, and retreats, including an extensive meditation practice and pilgrimage into soulful rootedness, I bring a multidisciplinary, integrative, and empathetic approach to my work.

I interweave the material and practical with reverence for the mysterious and imaginal depths of human experience. In the room, that means we take both your circumstances and your inner life seriously.

How I work

Displacement is not just geographic. People are uprooted by migration and by grief, by ambition and by illness, by success as often as by loss. My research and my practice share one conviction: home is not something we find once and settle into, but something we learn to make again and again — a living process available wherever and whenever life has moved us.
