Do you find yourself constantly avoiding experiences, even though they are important to you? Difficulty with controlling thoughts and behaviors that take you away from who you want to be?

As an ACT therapist my is hope is to give you the abilities to be with your difficult experiences, while you engage in actions that move you towards your values. I am passionate in working with adults who are struggling with symptoms of Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression.

It is my mission to help individuals, couples, and families on their path toward fulfilling and functional lives.

Helping you find effective ways to tackle distressing thoughts, disruptive emotions, and problematic behaviors is a primary focus of my practice. I have been privileged to work with a diverse clientele to address issues that range from mild stress and anxiety to severe and persistent mental illness. If you are ready to embark on the challenging, exciting, sometimes painful, and often transformative journey of personal therapy, I would be honored to take that journey with you.

Traumatic experiences lead to trauma. That trauma deep inside of our bodies which ends up effecting most areas of our lives. The clients I have worked with, do hard work, the hardest and bravest work I have had the honor of being a part of. My client's need safety and as Gabor Mate states the "two basic human needs Authenticity and Attachment". My client's learn who they are, and what each of the identities they hold mean to them. They take power back and action through intensive trauma therapy which does not always require them to speak their traumatic experiences. My client's learn to believe in the good things coming.

I enjoy working with individuals who are open and ready to work for what they need. They may need assistance coping with daily stress or transitioning to a different stage of life. My hope is that we can work together to establish achievable goals and identify strategies that will be effective for you as an individual.

Therapy is a process and my goal is to guide you toward a better understanding of yourself and your choices and to identify strengths and weaknesses impacting your daily living. Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, my approach is based on your current struggles, concerns and personality style. Your goal as a patient is to one day leave therapy with new insights, tools and strategies to live life to the fullest.
