I bring a person-centered approach blended with ACT and DBT to support anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQIA concerns.
Are you carrying pain that others can’t see. You may feel alone, stuck in cycles of anxiety, shame, or relationship struggles that keep repeating. Often these patterns begin in environments where emotional needs weren’t fully seen or supported, leaving you in survival mode, overthinking, shutting down, or doubting yourself. Therapy can be a space to understand these patterns with compassion rather than judgment. I help adults explore the roots of these experiences and reconnect with their sense of self so they can move toward greater clarity, balance, and authenticity. I am here to help you through this in a safe space.

I work with capable, thoughtful adults who are managing a lot on the outside but feeling overwhelmed on the inside. They often struggle with overthinking, emotional overload, or feeling stuck in patterns they cannot shift. Many are balancing responsibilities, relationships, and expectations while quietly carrying too much on their own.
Clients come to me when they want clarity. They may be tired of surface-level conversations or unsure why things are not improving. I help them slow things down, identify patterns, and understand what is actually driving their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so they can move forward with intention.

I integrate ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT, and mindfulness approaches to provide a tailored therapeutic experience.
Adjusting to life after a brain injury or coping with a complex medical diagnosis can feel overwhelming and isolating. You may struggle with uncertainty, frustration, or even depression as you navigate these changes. These experiences often bring a mix of grief for what has changed and anxiety about what lies ahead. It’s common to feel disconnected from your former self, caught in patterns of negative thinking, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we can create a safe, supportive space to explore these challenges, helping you rediscover resilience, build coping skills, and reclaim a sense of purpose and fulfillment in your life.

Have you looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "How did I get here?" “Who can I trust?” “How did my life change so quickly that I can't even recognize myself anymore?" "Am I Crazy?" "I Want to be Happy?" Problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Real problems start and end with the mirror image we see daily. Often the mirror image is silent but dying to speak and live life again. Issues in life begin with the inability to be heard, believed in, and understood. I think the best way to find you again, is to find your voice. Our office will temporarily be accepting online clients beginning March 1, 2025. New Location TBA.

Let me help you with parental capacity levels, and reducing dysregulation with your kiddo through LENS and therapy. Maybe you’ve tried therapy, parenting strategies, or coping tools, but something still feels stuck.
When the brain and nervous system are in chronic survival mode, insight and willpower alone often aren’t enough. This is where LENS neurofeedback can be helpful.
LENS (Low Energy Neurofeedback System) is a gentle, non-invasive approach that works directly with the brain to support regulation. LENS helps the nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight patterns so it can regulate and be flexible.

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.
