I offer individual therapy and group therapy theoretically grounded in ACT, REBT, CBT, and mindfulness.
I am accepting new clients who are seeking support in their journey with mental health (adults, 18-55). I provide a safe environment to process trauma, anxiety, grief, life transitions, explore identity, and develop self-awareness. I particularly work well with university students, individuals who feel like an imposter, or those who feel isolated by feelings of shame. My therapy practice aims to empower clients to clarify goals and collaboratively expand their capacity to achieve them.

Hi. Are you feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Are you feeling disconnected from others and having a difficult time communicating needs and desires to loved ones? I can help with that. I have been working with people on communication and negotiation of needs for many years. Being raised in a foster home, by my adopted parents, has helped my gain skills that I would not have had the opportunity to acquire otherwise, such as, accepting everyone for who they are and where they come from regardless of their background.

Sometimes life throws us obstacles that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and maybe even unheard or misunderstood by those in our lives. This can be extremely frustrating. As a psychologist, I help people feel heard during difficult times and find ways to get unstuck. Together we will explore the traps that keep you stuck and discover how your internal critic contributes to or exacerbates your challenges. Distress is a normal part of life that affects everyone to varying degrees. I will work collaboratively with you to help you learn to live a fulfilling life despite the challenges you might be facing.

I utilized eclectic evidence base approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT informed, psychodynamic techniques, motivational interviewing, solution focus, existential technique, and other theoretical modalities by collaboratively partnering with my clients to identify and develop their personal treatment needs.
People seek help for variety of reasons including but not limited to finding effective and adaptive ways to cope with thoughts and feelings that are coming up now, but are from situations that they lived through in their past. Some of those thoughts and feelings could manifest in behaviors that can be problematic or and hold them back from living their best and enjoy their lives. Most people just want to feel content, happy, be successful, get along with their love ones, and friends and family members. I see youths, young adults and their families who struggle with depression, anxiety, thought disorder, OCD, ADHD, trauma etc

I focus on helping navigate the wild twists and turns of life, whether it's healing the caverns of complex trauma, revisiting childhood shenanigans, or riding the ADHD rollercoaster of executive dysfunction. We will use a variety of tools on our journey, including ACT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and Imagery Rehearsal Therapy. Don't worry, though – I promise to keep the jargon to a minimum and sprinkle in a healthy dose of humor along the way.

After 27 years as a high school teacher, I followed my long-held interest and returned to school to become a licensed social worker (LMSW) and a substance abuse counselor (CASAC.) I work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD and I also work with couples. I primarily use CBT, ACT and DBT. Data shows that most people who experience substance use disorders also meet the criteria for a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (70-80%), or some form of trauma (50%.) Treating substance abuse means treating the whole person.

We may spend some time on the origins of these negative messages, and will discuss the process of moving forward with a balance of acceptance and change.
I help people sort through parts of life that feel 'stuck' and work to identify skills to move forward. In particular, my work has focused on helping people improve their relationships with food, their bodies, and the culture that has dictated the most harmful elements of this relationship. I have training in both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, and my practice leans into values-driven Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I welcome clients from all identities, and make space to address the impact of explicit and internalized biases.

Through radical acceptance, we begin to find understanding, forgiveness and the strength to make change.
I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

I am a trauma-certified psychotherapist and practice a number of modalities including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and humanistic therapy.
Feeling hopeless and anxious? Lost control of your life? Traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety steal your focus, impede your goals, and create constant distress. Can't shake that feeling of dread? It’s nearly impossible to find joy in the moment if you’re always waiting for your worst fears to be realized. Living a productive and meaningful life is possible once you conquer the obstacles that have plagued you for so long. Therapy takes courage but you can find peace and tranquility.

Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
