I specialize in integrative, trauma-informed therapy that blends Brainspotting, somatic work, CBT, parts work (IFS), ACT, and EFT.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of binge eating, shame, and harsh self-criticism. Often these patterns are connected to past trauma, core fears, or feeling disconnected from their body and emotions. You may feel frustrated with yourself or exhausted from trying to “fix” things on your own. What you really want is relief—freedom from emotional eating, healing from painful experiences, and a kinder relationship with yourself. In therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space where we can understand what’s driving these patterns and help you build self-trust, confidence, and lasting change.

Our feelings are signals not problems. They get louder, or shut down, when we don’t know how to respond to them. I dedicated my life to understanding and releasing trauma. As a result, I’ve come to understand the rupture that defines the traumatic condition is collective. What we see out there, in the world, the struggle and strife, reflects the conditions we’ve all inherited. Pain is a signal that something needs attention. Our relationship with self needs attention. Of course it does. Healing is realized through Hopeful Empowered Active Living and that’s our natural state.

I draw upon various therapeutic techniques, including CBT, DBT, ACT, MI and IFS, amongst others, to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and systemic influences.
I understand that life can feel incredibly fast-paced, and trying to keep up while managing daily stress, low self-esteem, or a brain that processes the world differently can leave you feeling overwhelmed. I support women who are exhausted by the pressure to "hold it all together," as well as neurodivergent adults who are tired of masking just to fit in. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I partner with women and neurodivergent adults to navigate life's challenges, quiet the inner critic, and build genuine self-worth. I specialize in supporting clients through life transitions and relationship-related grief.

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.
