My ideal client is any adult looking to create change in their life by being willing to change how they relate to their internal thoughts and feelings. This has a wide application for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties or just the stress of a post-pandemic world. I have a particular passion for working with those who have experienced developmental trauma and are looking for new ways to relate to themselves and their pasts.
I work via telehealth and utilize existential and humanistic techniques within the specific modality of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help clients achieve their goals. This includes the exploration of personal values, the meanings we give the stories of our life and experiential, behavioral strategies to live your values in the world.
As we work together, I will support you as you create your own goals and design your own strategies for testing new ways of being that empower you to craft the life you want. In the words of Victor Frankl: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."
