Like most of my clients, you may want to improve your emotional well-being, manage stress, anxiety, and depression, or boost self-confidence. You may also want to be challenged to become the best version of yourself, to live and love authentically.
I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), somatic awareness skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) and mindfulness to create an open, creative, and confidential space to help you feel at ease with your past, be clear about your present, and intentionally direct your future.
No matter how large the problem seems or how stuck you feel, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. We can talk about what you are looking for in a therapist and how I might be able to help.

In my work, I include the body and somatic awareness to help tune into what is important. This allows each individual to build confidence in decision-making and clarify how we want to behave in our work, social, spiritual, physical, and emotional lives. We will work to clarify values, learn to trust our guts, and allow thoughts to occur without an overwhelming emotional response.

I use mindfulness, somatic awareness, and the ACT framework to help my clients re-discover their resilience and connection. Allowing time to build awareness of physical sensations can help us align our behavior with our values so we can live the life we want, be the person we were born to be, and live a more authentic life.
