I work best with thoughtful, introspective adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by anxiety, depression, or patterns that no longer fit who they are becoming. You may be navigating a life transition, grief, or questions of identity and meaning — or simply carrying a persistent sense that something needs to change. You want relief, yes — but more than that, you want to feel grounded, understood, and able to live with greater intention and authenticity.
I offer a thoughtful, values-based approach grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative, and humanistic traditions. Together, we’ll explore the stories shaping your life, make room for difficult thoughts and emotions, and focus on meaningful change rather than “fixing” what’s wrong.
You don’t have to face this alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, be human, and approach yourself with curiosity and compassion. I offer a steady, accepting space where healing unfolds at your pace and meaningful life can grow, even alongside struggle. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions and welcome you to reach out.
