I practice ACT at the core and integrate CBT/ERP, EFT, and clinical hypnosis as needed.
The mind often seeks safety above all else, but a good life asks for more than mere protection. If OCD, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, insomnia, BFRBs, or depression have made life feel exhausting, you are not you are not meant to live this way forever. I work with adults, university students, and professionals who may appear high-functioning on the outside while carrying a heavy inner burden. My approach is direct, practical, and compassionate, helping you step out of rigid patterns and move toward a life with more clarity, freedom, meaning, and genuine room for honesty, depth, connection, and even laughter.

I utilize EMDR, ACT and CBT in my practice.
Many of the people I work with are strong, capable, and outwardly successful, yet inside they feel anxious, overwhelmed, or quietly ashamed for not feeling “happy enough.” Often, they grew up in environments where their feelings were minimized or unsafe to express. They learned to cope by being high-functioning, self-reliant, and accommodating, even when it came at the cost of their own needs. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist trained in EMDR, CBT, and somatic-based approaches. This means we don’t just talk about what happened, we work gently and effectively with how your mind, nervous system and body are still carrying it.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! We all want this and deserve this, especially in our romantic relationships, so why do things go wrong? Lack of communication. The good news is, loving communication is a skill that can be learned, even after years of feeling stuck. When couples learn to talk about issues in a loving way, their whole relationship improves (yes, even in the bedroom!). Here's what we'll cover in counseling: • How to bring up a problem that’s bothering you • How to listen with an open heart • How to make sure your partner feels heard

I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT to help clients adjusting to life changes to understand themselves better and cope more effectively.
When I ask new clients why they’ve come to therapy, many share a simple hope: "I just want to feel better." Often, they're having trouble adjusting to a life change, such as becoming a parent, losing a loved one, navigating a complicated relationship, or pursuing a degree or career change. They’re tired of feeling depressed, anxious, irritable, overwhelmed, or angry. As a psychologist with years of experience, I know how challenging these experiences can be. And I also know that meaningful, lasting change is possible.

Accepting new clients! Have you ever felt like you were struggling to work through some of life's challenges but thought it wasn't serious enough to get help? I believe that therapy is helpful not only to work through difficult times but also to gain a new perspective and identify our strengths and give us the tools to maintain a healthy mind. We often face the uneasiness of new experiences and life transitions that can be hard to manage, especially on our own. If you have ever felt like this, you may have felt overwhelmed, frustrated, and emotionally stuck.

Using CBT and ACT, we explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and learn practical ways to shift negative patterns.
Are you a college student, young professional, or new mom who feels constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in your own thoughts? You may look capable and high-functioning on the outside, but inside you’re overthinking everything — replaying conversations, worrying about the future, or battling intrusive thoughts you can’t shut off. You might be navigating career pressure, dating, infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum changes while trying to “hold it all together.” Anxiety, perfectionism, or OCD can make even small decisions feel exhausting. It doesn’t have to be this hard.

I blend ACT, Attachment Theory, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Play Therapy, and CBT to provide psychoeducation and design individualized treatment plans for each client.
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!

Demands on our time, attention, and emotional involvement are heavier than ever. I consider it an honor to support individuals and couples who are currently navigating the aftermath of trauma. Trauma has a way of weaving itself into the fabric of everyday life, often manifesting in ways that are not always obvious, whether it’s difficulty maintaining boundaries, challenges in expressing emotions, or leaning on substances as a means of coping. These patterns, while understandable, often no longer serve the people who carry them.
