I see counseling as a process of shifting from a worn-out life script to one you want to live now. Have you been plagued by recurring unhelpful thoughts or behaviors that reinforce a critical daily narrative? Have you gotten to a point where you often feel helpless and dissatisfied with your life trajectory? Have you struggled with guilt or shame over your life choices? Many of my clients unconsciously endorse a deeply-held personal narrative that results in persistent, ineffective patterns of behavior designed to protect and preserve, but that maintain or even increase their long-term suffering.
If you have been wrestling with escaping the past and creating a different future, but end up with little to show for all your efforts. The tools to accept your experiences, identify what is most important to you, and move forward with direction and purpose are available. I show clients these tools to "unhook" from unproductive actions and live well.
I believe it's not my job to fix you but to get you unstuck from what isn't working. There is a way to move forward with a value-aligned purpose that is effective, flexible, and creates the life you crave. Please contact me to begin your heroic journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Successful psychotherapy is the result of a strong therapeutic alliance. I focus on building trust through active listening, validation, and compassion. I practice the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model. By learning to accept difficult and painful experiences instead of avoiding them, clients can unlock psychological flexibility that supports value-driven choices despite circumstances.
