My approach blends values-based exploration ( ACT), identifying unhelpful thoughts (CBT), and other evidence-based therapies.
Life can be exhausting when you’re constantly holding everything together. I specialize in helping professionals manage anxiety, depression, and burnout. My work is grounded in professional training and lived experience. Many of my clients appear capable on the surface but struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and high internal pressure. Their minds are overthinking and anticipating problems, leaving little space to rest or feel grounded. I create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help you slow down, reduce stress, & build healthier boundaries.

As we move through life, we inevitably encounter stress, hardship, and emotional pain that can leave us feeling disconnected or alone. During these times, having a space grounded in warmth, understanding, and support can be deeply healing. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a unique and powerful alliance—one that offers steadiness and care during periods of anxiety, depression, relational stress, and life transitions.

You aren’t looking to just get through life as it is. Whether it’s a teen losing their spark, the disorientation of divorce, or a relationship that's lost its warmth, you’ve noticed something at stake that's too important to ignore. That realization brings a mix of hope and urgency: hope that things can be better, and urgency because you aren't sure if change is possible. With advanced training from Northwestern University and 5 years of experience working with individuals and families as a therapist and coach, I help people create lasting change that goes beyond symptom management. I promise you: real change is possible.

Therapy is navigating the amazing, terrifying, and awkward experiences that come with being human. It can be figuring out who we are and how we fit into the world, or working toward how we want to fit, or maybe accepting that there are only so many ways we can fit. Therapy is connection, like real human connection, in a world where so much happens behind screens, constant notifications, doom scrolling, small-talk conversations about the weather, and auto-replies of "I'm fine, how about you?". It’s validating that we exist and that we matter, because we want to feel seen, heard, and understood. We want to know that we make sense

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.
