You may seem capable on the outside while feeling anxious, disconnected, discouraged, or overwhelmed on the inside. Perhaps you are used to pushing through stress, second-guessing yourself, procrastinating, or feeling pressure to handle things on your own. I work especially well with older teens, young adults, and men who seem functional on the outside but feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside.
I offer thoughtful, practical therapy grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we’ll look at what is keeping you stuck and help you respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions in ways that help you move forward with more clarity and intention, and with a stronger connection to what matters most to you.
If you’ve been carrying a lot on your own, therapy can be a place to slow down, sort through what’s going on, and begin taking meaningful steps forward. I welcome the chance to talk and see what it would be like to work together.

I was a physical therapist for more than 20 years before I became a counselor, and appreciate the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit especially as it relates to pain. I offer a unique, compassionate and integrative approach to health and overall wellness.

As a Master's level LMHCA, I work with adults and teens 15 and older who may be feeling anxious, down, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are navigating stress, self-doubt, or life transitions-and want something to change, even if they're not sure how. I offer a space to explore, regroup, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to you.

There are many great approaches to therapy and I draw from a variety of different theories and integrate them into my practice. However, I use ACT as an organizing framework in my work. ACT is a thoughtful, flexible, pragmatic, values-driven, and evidence-based approach. It is sensitive and responsive to many conditions and the diverse challenges that people face in their daily life.
