Do you notice swirling thoughts that don't seem to have a viable solution often distracting you to the point you’ve missed several songs on the radio? Perhaps you’ve lost interest in activities you used to find enjoyable. Maybe you’ve found yourself engaging in compulsive behaviors such as pornography, gambling, video gaming, or shopping to distract yourself from your worries. Many who experience these issues are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, or family/relationship challenges; these symptoms sap your energy and leave you feeling as though you've lost your way in your life's journey.
I treat folks with the same care and respect I expect from my providers. Just as my time is valuable, so is yours! Our sessions are free from distractions like ringing phones, dinging texts, and I'll never sit in front of you typing on my laptop as you share the most intimate details about your life. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
Congratulations on taking the first step in seeking a new therapist! It's intimidating to start a therapeutic relationship with a perfect stranger; in doing so however, you've begun (or are continuing) your journey toward a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. Our work together sets you on a new path, one that makes sense to you.

While I use an eclectic approach, the foundation from which I bring about change is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I'll teach you how to embrace distressing thoughts and feelings as opposed to expending mental energy denying or attempting to suppress your internal experience. This transformative shift in thinking and behaving reduces unwanted emotions such as sadness, guilt, anger, and shame.
