Are you struggling with racing thoughts, obsessions, compulsive behaviors, fear, or avoidance? Are you interested in exploring your patterns of thought and behavior and how your experiences have shaped your beliefs and self-concept? Would you like to get to know yourself better so that you can learn self-leadership and enrich your relationships with others? Would you like to learn to pause and experience the present moment without judgement?

I'm committed to facilitating clients’ improvement of their relationships to their internal experiences (thoughts, emotions, self-concept), thus improving the quality of their interpersonal relationships as well. I'm trained in person-centered therapy and ERP and incorporate ACT, mindfulness, and IFS parts work tailored to each client’s individual needs.

My attention to systems of power and oppression drive me to affirm, support, and facilitate exploration of clients’ intersecting identities, building skills and self-trust for navigating stressors both internal and external. I'd love the opportunity to travel with you and help you navigate your internal landscape. Let's chat and see if we'd be a good match!
