I’ve always turned to words when life felt confusing, too full, or too quiet. As a child, I escaped into books to feel less alone. As a young adult, I wrote to make sense of the in-between spaces no one talked about. Later, I discovered that poetry could name what I couldn’t yet say — and what didn’t always need fixing, just witnessing.

Before I became a psychotherapist, I worked as a dispute resolution lawyer. I’ve spent years holding space for people — professionally, ethically, and tenderly. Now, I work with individuals and groups as a therapist, trauma practitioner, trainer  and coach.

My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative, existential, and mindfulness-based practices — all gently woven with the quiet wisdom of bibliotherapy. What I know is this: words can open doors — to awareness, to feeling, to perspective, to healing. And when held in community, those words — and the silence between them — can change us.

The Inner Chapter is the community I once needed. Not a loud space. Not another task. But a gentle, grounded sanctuary where we can return to ourselves — through language, story, and shared humanity. Here, I’m not your expert with all the answers. I’m your guide — someone who knows how to ask the right questions, and curate the kinds of words that open something in you.
