I provide counseling to individuals and couples seeking to better understand their patterns and develop practical skills to manage—or reduce—the impact of life’s planned and unplanned transitions, relationship challenges (past or present), persistent negative thinking, low mood, and difficulty with motivation or follow-through. Together, we explore how your past experiences have shaped your current beliefs, behaviors, and relational dynamics. By increasing insight and awareness, we create space for intentional change. Our work will also emphasize developing clarity and confidence in expressing your needs, boundaries, and desires.
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and behavioral approaches to help clients explore how their relational history and lived experiences shape current patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. You guide the focus of our work, and together we identify the solutions.
A goal of my therapeutic process is to help people understand why they are the way they are, increase compassion for themselves, make conscious and intentional decisions, and make better behavioral choices by understanding the way they think.
