My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

You’re experiencing a traumatizing event (a breakup, a job loss, the death of a loved one, loneliness, or maybe you’re just plain unhappy with life). You might have also experienced a rough childhood where you endured critical, judgmental, or abusive parents.

It was out of my experience pursuing different professional endeavors after getting my degree in Business Marketing - small business start ups, non-profit development and management, career advisement, and teaching art workshops to adults and teens - that I discovered my passion for walking with teens, adults, and couples through counseling. This process led to my getting my Master of Arts in Counseling and has shaped a caring understanding of others who grapple with life’s challenges, disappointments, traumas, unmet longings, and distant dreams.

Now scheduling new client's for walk and talk therapy, in office, and virtual. Life is dynamic and at any point, having the support of an individual with an outside, neutral, perspective can be helpful. I like to joke that friends are great for venting to for about 15 minutes, and then their eyes may glaze over and they kind of want their turn to vent (or change the subject); with therapy you get almost an hour of identifying problems, but also solutions in a warm, supportive (evidence-based) environment.

Psychotherapy is a partnership between the therapist and the client. The client sets the agenda, the therapist provides methods and together they discuss and explore alternatives to help the client achieve a more effective approach to life. Like any sort of partnership, the success or failure depends upon mutual effort. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2002 and I love my work.

Do you feel weighed down by the heaviness of different struggles, unable to experience joy, purpose, and peace from one day to the next? Do you see yourself making choices, entertaining thoughts, or habitually falling into behaviors, which do not match up with your values, beliefs, and hopes? Some seasons of life knock at our doors, introducing or reacquainting us with sources of pain that can leave us overwhelmed about navigating through unpleasant symptoms. The support that one receives from an uplifting counselor can aid with renewed vision for piloting through such seasons towards healing.
