Are you feeling stuck, caught in conflict or anxiety, or just need help working through some difficulties? Life is hard and at times it may seem like suffering is permanent. The good news... it is not. Change is always possible and I can help. I have years of experience with adolescents/adults facing anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life transitions and family conflict. My goal is to help you face challenging experiences, abandon old habits and make new, healthier ones. You will change beliefs, behaviors, relationships, and feel stronger and more capable. My goal is to help you restore peace of mind and move forward.

I have expertise in chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and adolescent issues. My approach combines modalities such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), family systems theory and mindfulness-based practices. People are different and have different needs, so I work collaboratively with you to develop an approach that will be best suited to you.

The goal of our work is for you to have a life not dictated by fear, conflict, self-loathing or unhealthy habits. To help you get there, I will create a space where you feel understood and respected. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling hopeful and empowered with new tools. Change is possible and we will work together to help you achieve it.
