I’m dedicated to helping you reclaim your sense of power, compassion, and connection. We all start life with a natural ability to accept ourselves and seek belonging, yet difficult chapters can cloud the truth: that you are inherently worthy and capable. I support you in processing the past burdens that weigh on your present. While we navigate those obstacles, I’ll gently challenge you to take intentional daily actions that align with your deepest values. Together, we’ll move past the barriers holding you back, empowering you to embrace your strengths and build a life rooted in authenticity and purpose.
I specialize in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive related disorders, and trauma-treatment. And I draw from attachment theory, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral (CBT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), and dialectical behavior (DBT), based on client need.
It’s a significant move to prioritize your personal growth and begin this journey. To help us explore how we might work together, I provide complimentary 20-minute consultations via phone. This is a dedicated space for you to share what you’re looking for in therapy, ask questions, and for both of us to determine if my approach aligns with your needs

Integrating attachment theory into ACT can be beneficial for clients by helping them explore how their early attachment experiences might impact their current emotional struggles and their ability to engage in value-driven actions.
