Life events, trauma, challenges in intimate or family relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, physical pain, issues with sex and intimacy, addictions, anger, and crisis can leave us feeling stuck, hopeless, and unable to move forward and experience positive change in our lives.
I can help you identify your options, improve coping, develop a workable relationship with thoughts and behaviors that are not serving you, and heal emotional wounds. I provide non-judgmental support and current evidence-based therapies so that healing and change can happen even when that doesn’t seem possible. You don’t have to do it alone.
The counseling process isn’t always easy and it can be difficult to ask for help, but one of my goals as a therapist is to make sure that everyone I work with leave their sessions feeling informed, supported, heard, and encouraged by the work they are doing to move forward.

My primary mode of therapy is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) because it is well-supported by research and I have found it to be very effective across many types of challenges that people face. I integrate other types of therapy into my sessions when they would be beneficial.
