For the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they navigate the complexities of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and life’s many transitions. I believe that therapy is a partnership built on trust, compassion, and mutual respect—a safe space where you can be your most authentic self without fear of judgment. My approach is solution-focused, but it’s also deeply personal. I see every client as a whole person, not just a set of challenges, and I’m here to help you uncover your strengths, find clarity, and create meaningful change.

I'm extensively trained in the following evidence-based therapies: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, but inside your mind feels loud and overwhelming. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or trauma memories keep looping, and you’re exhausted from trying to manage it alone. If you’re struggling with anxiety or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), you might find yourself overthinking, seeking reassurance, or avoiding situations just to get temporary relief. You want peace, clarity, and to trust yourself again. If you’re ready to face what’s been keeping you stuck, with support and structure, we can begin that work together.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
