I believe that everyone is worthy of compassionate care and living a life that draws from a deep well of peace, hope and joy. I hope to partner with clients who desire to navigate life's challenges and painful moments in a way that feels true to who they are, honors their journey and promotes holistic well-being. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, trauma, significant life transitions or concerns related to self-esteem, we will identify strategies to enhance your wellbeing across all areas life.
I primarily work with those experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. I use evidenced based tools such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and often integrate mindfulness, self-compassion and values work- identifying what matters most to you! I also have training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, used to address traumatic experiences.
It’s a brave step you’re taking. I'd be honored to connect with you.

I am not in network with any insurance companies but I can provide a superbill so that you can request reimbursement from your insurance if that is helpful to you. I do work with FirstSun EAP if that is a benefit your employer offers.

I primarily approach therapy from the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. But, because each client's needs are unique, I integrate various approaches from Accelerated Resolution Therapy to mindfulness and somatic practices. We will pay close attention to how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors are connected. I believe that the best therapy treats the client as a whole person.
