About Equanimity
Equanimity, to me, means stillness, balance, equilibrium. This feels counterintuitive and especially difficult in the world we live in. Growing up with meditation, years of yoga practice, and training in pranayama (breathwork) have all shaped the way I strive to meet life’s challenges with presence and perspective. I don’t believe meaningful change has to happen all at once. Sometimes it begins with a single moment of feeling more present, more grounded, or more like yourself. Over time, those moments can build into a steadier, more intentional way of moving through life.
Being Human
It’s human to suffer. It’s human to be curious about existence (and non-existence). It’s human to ask questions, even ones that can’t be answered. In my work, I help people explore their sense of purpose, identity, and meaning while navigating the effects of harmful systems and societal pressures. I recognize that we live in an uncertain world and that our mental health doesn’t exist in a vacuum… it is shaped by our life experiences and everything happening around us. With this in mind, I also believe in the power of community, recognizing that growth doesn’t happen in isolation, but through connection, belonging, and shared understanding.
My Values
My approach to care is inclusive, open-minded, and free of judgment. I will never pretend to know the inner workings of someone’s brain, but I can listen and try to understand their why with willingness and attentiveness. I strive to create a space where all parts of who you are feel welcome. Identity, culture, and lived experience are meaningful parts of how we understand ourselves, and I welcome those conversations with care and curiosity. I am committed to care that is trauma-informed, and I approach each person with the understanding that past experiences can have lasting effects. I’m here to hold space for your thoughts, emotions, celebrations, discomforts, questions, and answers. Ultimately to hold space for you, the whole you.
