Your busy schedule and anxious thoughts take over the life you want to live. You rarely feel relaxed and fear that if you pull back and say no you will lose important relationships. You lost a parent or never had a reliable one, which forced you to grow up fast. You became the responsible one who is strong and doesn't need help. You lost a relationship, you are grieving the loss of a loved one, or something big changed in your life. Now you replay conversations in your head, you feel sad, lost, anxious or uncertain.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate grief, major life transitions, relationship challenges, and anxiety. I teach you how to build awareness of unhelpful thoughts and help you clarify your values so you can act in ways that align with what's really important to you.
Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again. Reach out for a free 20 minute consultation to see if we are a good match to work together.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During therapy we'll work towards behavior change so that you can live a valued life.
