I provide counseling to adults who have difficulty managing intense emotions, struggle with compulsive or addictive behaviors, engage in avoidant behaviors and those who have relationship difficulties. Through collaboration, I guide adults experiencing depression, generalized anxiety, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I use a supportive yet direct approach to help adults understand their stressors, symptoms, triggers and identify long-term and short-term cognitive, behavioral, relational and emotional coping strategies.
I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. We'll work to recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns, develop greater emotional flexibility, clarify personal values, and explore unhelpful or harmful beliefs.
My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. I balance compassion with thoughtful challenge, encouraging insight, personal growth, and lasting change. I approach every client with curiosity, respect, and appreciation for the unique experiences that have shaped their life.
