The ideal client is an adult feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or off-track, struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, or OCD. They may be navigating significant life transitions, grief, addiction recovery, anger, or emotional regulation challenges. They need a grounded, compassionate space and seek a therapist who can address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. They want to move beyond feeling "stuck" and align their life with their values. This client is often motivated to engage in evidence-based therapy like ACT, IFS, or ERP, and appreciates a safe, inclusive environment.
I offer a grounded space utilizing specialties like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) for personal growth. I also provide OCD treatment (ERP) and support for anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation, helping clients find clarity and live a more aligned life.
Life can feel overwhelming and stuck sometimes. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone; meaningful change is possible. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome. If you are ready to explore a life that feels more aligned and truly your own, I invite you to reach out and begin this journey together.
