As a therapist specializing in mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients notice the beauty in life by stepping out of their racing minds and reconnecting with the present.

Are you the Family Hero? Starting therapy can be hard, particularly for those who are not accustomed to seeking support. Recognizing the need for help can feel daunting, as it might seem to challenge the roles you've long upheld—perhaps as the family's hero, the fixer, or the helper. There might be a fear that your vulnerabilities will become apparent in reaching out, questioning the identity you've consistently portrayed. However, it is crucial to embrace a pivotal truth: showing vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but a profound act of bravery. Asking for help is a courageous step. Therapy is transformative self-discovery.
