Is overthinking the superpower you never asked for? I help overthinkers better handle anxiety and depression, overcome sleep problems, and manage stress related to caregiving and health problems. You are not broken; you just haven't found the path that works for you yet! I have over 18 years of experience as a psychologist working with adults to improve their lives. I provide evidenced-based, goal-oriented treatments with some flexibility, because you deserve a personalized approach.
Our work starts with a conversation, with your goals and needs at the center, and together we find the path to you feeling better! I specialize in acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy, mindfulness interventions, and offer clinical hypnosis as part of your treatment plan when appropriate.
Although emotional pain is part of being alive and caring; sometimes we need space to process it, find a way through it, or find a way to think about it so that it isn't the boss of our lives. Whether your concern is new or something you've wrestled with for years; together we can help your life be about more of what matters to you. You are worth it!
