Today was hard. Waking up thinking “how soon can I go back to sleep.” Sometimes you find yourself questioning if you really want to live. You feel so alone and wonder how no one else sees your pain. All day at work you fake a smile. You make excuses to not do the hobbies you once loved. You just don’t feel like yourself anymore. Nothing seems to excite you. Reminders of the past are keeping you from moving forward. You just want to feel different.

I believe that we each have what it takes to move forward and succeed in life. Sometimes things happen to us beyond our control. Other times, we simply get in our own way. I've experienced both of these situations in my life, and I believe I can help you respond to life in a way that moves you forward in the direction you want to go. The type of therapy I practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides the framework for how to live your best life. ACT's principles provide a new approach to life, a way of being in the world. I learned them as a client years ago, and I still practice them everyday in my own life.

I work primarily with individual adults, ages 18+ who find themselves in need of extra support, whether due to sudden life changes or longer term issues.

Hearing people's stories is what I truly love to do. That is why I became a counselor. That is what I would want to spend my time doing even if it wasn't my career. Human beings are complex, that is true. And we are beautiful in endless ways, good when all is stripped away, and valuable beyond anything else in all of creation. To know and be known is one of the sweetest experiences of life. Along with being loved and securely belonging to other human beings. I hope my work gives these kind of gifts.

Most of us are looking for peace, with ourselves, in relationships and as we move through our world. In cultivating peace, we may seek relief from difficult emotions or may need support working through a loss or traumatic experience. Whether you are looking to manage depressive symptoms or anxiety, or you desire to cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself and others, knowing our own truth is key. The answer is in each of us; we may just need a little guidance in finding it. I deeply love the work of meeting people where they are and guiding & creatively companioning them into work that enables a richer, more peaceful life.
