I am a psychotherapist and former corporate attorney. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, burnout, difficult emotions, and the pressures that often come with high-performing professional life.
Many of my clients are attorneys, executives, creatives, and other professionals who are used to functioning at a high level while feeling internally overwhelmed, self-critical, or disconnected from themselves or others. From the outside, things may appear successful or stable, even when the internal experience is quite different.
My work as a therapist is informed by my own lived experience of these dynamics. I earned my bachelor’s degrees in Philosophy and Arabic from Duke University and my J.D. from Harvard Law School, and I spent nearly a decade practicing international corporate law before transitioning into psychotherapy.
Over time, I became increasingly aware that external achievement alone was not sufficient for the kind of wellbeing I was seeking. This recognition led me into a sustained period of reflection, study, and training, ultimately guiding me toward clinical work.
I earned my Master’s degree in Buddhist Psychology and Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University and now practice as an LPCC in Colorado. My clinical work is grounded in contemplative psychotherapy, which emphasizes awareness, emotional clarity, and the development of a compassionate and stable relationship with one’s own experience.
In practice, this means we are not trying to eliminate or override difficult thoughts or emotions, but to understand them in a way that allows for meaningful and sustainable change.
Alongside this foundation, I bring an ongoing interest in other psychological approaches. I have explored Internal Family Systems (IFS) through reading and experiential study, and I remain open to integrating ideas from different modalities when they may be helpful in our work together.
Some clients bring spiritual questions into therapy; others do not. Both are welcome. My role is not to impose a framework on your experience, but to support you in developing a clearer and more workable relationship with it.
If you are considering therapy, you are welcome to reach out.
