You may be someone who is used to holding things together for everyone else. Lately something feels heavier. You might be pregnant, postpartum, navigating infertility, or adjusting to early parenthood. Or perhaps anxiety, grief, or stress has been quietly building over time. You may be wondering why things feel harder than they “should,” or wishing for a space where you can talk honestly and feel understood. You’re not necessarily looking to be labeled or fixed—you want support that helps you make sense of your experience and reconnect with your own steadiness.

My work integrates EMDR (technique for reprocessing traumatic experiences), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I believe healing is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about building a kinder, more trusting relationship with yourself. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating life transitions, issues around identity/self esteem, or feeling the lingering effects of traumatic experiences. Together we will work towards restoring a sense of grounding, choice, and self-compassion. With compassion and curiosity, the survival responses that once protected us can begin to soften opening the door to healing, thriving, and building a life lived with intention.

Yung Pueblo, one of my favorite writers says, "Personal transformation is not easy. Healing yourself takes time. Letting go can sometimes feel overwhelming. Building new habits can seem like an uphill battle. Even with all of these challenges, inner work is worth it. This active form of self-love can radically change your life." Growth isn't just about being in full bloom; it's the process by which you get there, and how you continue to thrive after all the messiness from that growth. But often, you can't do this alone or without the right tools, support, and encouragement. That's what I'm here for!

Are YOU tired of just surviving? Exhausted from not finding a solid footing while having many of the things you worked hard for?
I support high-achievers in high-pressure work/school settings that juggle success with silent struggles—anxious thoughts, burnout, self-doubt, or trauma they’ve learned to hide well. They crave clarity and meaningful success. They are tired of "powering through." They want tools that work, not just talk therapy. In our work together, we focus on developing emotional agility, creating sustainable strategies, and releasing what is no longer theirs to carry.

You might be one who holds it all together — dependable, driven, always thinking ahead. But if you’re honest, the pressure is relentless. You might be navigating stress, perfectionism, or people-pleasing so automatically, you barely notice it anymore — until you feel burned out, disconnected, or like you're performing your life instead of living it. Maybe you find yourself resorting to habits you’re not proud of — behaviors that bring temporary relief but leave you feeling guilty or stuck. I work with people who are intense, thoughtful, and deeply motivated — often admired on the outside, but quietly overwhelmed on the inside.

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.
