Healing and change begin in relationship

For over 25 years, I’ve accompanied children, families, and systems in the work of healing—with depth, care, and a steady, compassionate presence.

I bring clinical expertise, a cross-cultural perspective, and a commitment to meeting people—and systems—as they are, with an eye toward what’s possible.

Here’s how I can help you

As a therapist, social worker, and practitioner, I’ve worked in more than 20 countries—from refugee camps and conflict zones to city agencies and global institutions. My experience spans the intimacy of clinical work and the complexity of large-scale system design, always grounded in the belief that we’re shaped not only by what happens to us, but by how we’re met.
