If you are reading this, there’s a good chance you feel unknown. Your family and friends think highly of you, but you’re afraid that might be because you’ve fooled them. Deep down you feel like there is something wrong with you, and no amount of “doing the right thing” can change that. You’ve spent much of your life between procrastination and perfection, but nothing really calms the racing thoughts and anxiety. A lifetime of trying to fix what feels broken in your family has taken its toll. It’s actually been pretty tough—and there’s a lot of pain.
Imagine experiencing peace and confidence in your daily life and relationships. Together we will create a safe place to authentically face the feelings, and maybe pain, from the past. As you find healing, we will start challenging the patterns that are holding you back and redefine your relationship with yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings.
Being here is the first step towards peace. Reaching out can be tough—and you are halfway there! Email me now or follow the link to my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

What distinguishes my work from a traditional CBT approach is that I am trained in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), meaning we focus less on trying to change thoughts and more on helping you live with your thoughts and change your relationship with your mind. I blend this approach with a focus on attachment patterns and overcoming internalized narratives that are holding you back.
