As an LPC for over 34 years, I facilitate therapy with expertise and compassion within a trauma-informed framework. My priorities are to help you feel comfortable and emotionally safe. The death of a loved one – either expected or unexpected can feel overwhelming. Learn to process your loss/ rebuild your life. Treating your anxiety and depression will decrease their dominance in your life and improve your functioning. If your tendency is towards perfectionism and criticizing yourself harshly, please reach out! Perceived defects in your physical appearance or other personal traits lead to substantial distress but can be treated.

Need someone to talk through day-to-day life with that isn’t your friends or family? That’s what I’m here for! Most of my clients are in their building their careers, have friends and family they love (with maybe a little drama between a few), and use therapy as a way to process their life and experiences with someone who will not judge them and actually be real with them. I’m not a just listen and nod kinda therapist. I like to ask my clients the hard questions, actively help them make connections about their thoughts and behaviors and ultimately make them feel empowered. I love this work and would love to meet you!

I help those who appear to have it all together but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from themselves. Many are navigating ADHD, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, body image concerns, anxiety, or the pressure of constantly caring for everyone else. They often struggle to prioritize their own needs without guilt. Together, we identify patterns that keep them stuck, build healthier boundaries, strengthen self-worth, and create a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and sustainable.

Taking the first step toward therapy is already an act of courage — and you already have more strength than you may realize.
Treatment is most effective when grounded in empathy and genuineness. Sessions are collaborative and grounding, with a focus on uncovering unique strengths you already possess and finding practical ways to move forward with confidence and intention. It would be an honor to walk alongside you.

It can be difficult searching online for a therapist, so I will try my best to help and support you in this process. If you feel on edge and find it difficult to control the anxiety, suffered a traumatic experience, or are going through a stressful life situation, your thoughts may impact how you feel. Things may seem hopeless; perhaps you feel alone and vulnerable. Imagine how it could feel not constantly worrying or struggle every day. Instead, what could it be to regain meaning and balance. I'd like to teach you about your brain, explain the "how & why", and add humor and hope along the way. Ready for the next step? Email me!

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.
