Grounded in meditation practice and trained in psychodynamic therapy, my natural warmth and gentle curiosity empower individuals in developing deeper presence, intimate connection and authentic vitality in their lives.

I work collaboratively, supporting my clients' innate strengths and facilitating individual potential for growth. Over the last nine years I've taught meditation, led mindfulness skills groups and integrated mindfulness practices in individual therapy. My clients describe experiencing less anxiety, depression and stress during and after our work together. For many, developing greater awareness opens the possibility of joy even in the midst of challenge and change.

Via Skype, telephone and limited face-to-face sessions in San Francisco, California and Kyoto, Japan, I provide mindfulness coaching and psychotherapy. You are welcome to contact me to discuss whether my services would be beneficial for you at this time. It is important that you feel comfortable in your decision when seeking assistance and there is no fee for an initial conversation.
