I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) to help you face fears in a gradual, supported way while building confidence.
Are you feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety or intrusive thoughts that won’t let up? Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition — a new career, relationship changes, or questioning your next chapter — and everything feels uncertain or overwhelming. If so, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with OCD, anxiety, and life transitions. OCD and anxiety can be exhausting — the constant doubt, mental rituals, avoidance, or need for reassurance can take over your day and leave you feeling frustrated or ashamed.

I use ACT, DBT, ERP, IFS, compassion-focused, feminist, humanistic, and trauma-informed approaches.
My ideal client is an adult navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, grief, religious or complex trauma, life transitions, or questions of identity and neurodivergence. They may feel constrained by shame, avoidance, or systems that prioritize productivity, compliance, and linear healing. They are seeking a soft, grounded space where they can explore the complexities of being human, take meaningful risks in self-expression, and move toward a way of being that feels more intuitive, expansive, and free.

I believe with CBT, DBT, ACT, and psychodynamic approaches that we can address almost anything.
My ideal client is someone looking to form a trusting bond and discuss the intricacies of their lives. I believe that when we feel comfortable, we can put our shame to the side, at which point then we can make progress. As a counselor, I have been trained to accept and consider all perspectives as valid. I hope to help clients move forward by exploring how their path protected them or made sense at one point, while assisting them in giving themselves permission to change directions. This can be achieved by reflecting underlying thoughts and emotions alone, while at other points more targeted techniques may be needed.

My ideal client is someone who feels responsible for everything and exhausted by it; anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in looping thoughts, or navigating the fallout of infidelity or major relationship stress. They’re smart, self-aware, and good at taking care of others, but struggle to make space for their own needs. They want clarity, emotional steadiness, and a way to break long-standing patterns that keep them stuck. Most of all, they want relief, direction, and someone who can actually help them make sense of what they’re feeling without judgment or clichés.

I believe that you are not broken because you’re not a person that needs to be fixed in the first place. You only needed to be respected and understood. I uphold that a nervous system implies the existence of a loving system. People often think I’m helping them overcome anguish when really I’m helping them experience how to love again despite their pain. Some days we will talk, vibe, and think out loud. Which is great! On other days we will establish what being “done” with therapy looks like and how you want to get there. My usual clientele include adults, couples, male, female, non-binary, weirdos, normies, lovers, and haters.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
