I integrate ACT, CBT, EMDR, IFS, and EFT to help people heal from anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship stress, and unwanted patterns.
Life can seem to be going okay, when something shifts. An unexpected loss, a relationship strain from an ongoing conflict, a change you didn’t see coming. Suddenly, something old gets stirred up, a memory or wound you thought you had moved past. It lingers in the background, echoing through your head. You try to power through, stay busy, distract yourself, but the feeling that ‘there’s something here’ keeps showing up. You’ve watched all three seasons of Shrinking and your algorithm is convinced you’re a therapy expert. At some point, though, it helps to talk to an actual human being. The part of you reading this already knows that.

Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right therapist isn't always easy.

I genuinely enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I welcome individuals wherever they are in their journey. I have experience working with autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, dissociation, and existential concerns such as identity, meaning, and purpose.

The clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and emotionally deep, yet still feel shaped by past trauma or patterns they can’t seem to break. On the outside they may look put together, but inwardly, they find themselves overthinking, feeling disconnected from their authentic self, or longing for a deeper sense of peace.
I specialize in helping clients heal the lasting impact of trauma and reconnect with their inner wisdom. In our work together, I offer a trauma-informed, grounded, compassionate space where you can safely process old wounds, and begin to feel more whole, embodied, and at home within yourself.

I use a combination of ACT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, CBT, and DBT (including offering comprehensive DBT treatment).
Many of us long for deeper connections, for more authentic living, or to break old patterns that no longer serve. We try and try, but something continues to get in the way. It could be unhelpful thoughts, intense emotions, anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, lack of skills, etc. My goal is to start where my clients are at and to listen deeply in order to accurately assess how we can best work together. I offer a compassionate, objective perspective to help you see more than the things that have you stuck.

I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in most of my work.
I believe in people’s own wisdom and listen with the intent to help people follow their own values. I believe in empowerment and practice therapy in such a way as to help my clients lead therapy with guidance and input from me but where they are the decision-makers. I work within parenting, couple, and intrapersonal relationships to reconcile and unify.

I use evidence-based approaches that best fit your needs such as ACT, CBT, EFT, and IFS.
Maybe your mind feels exhausted from overthinking. Maybe you find yourself caught in the cycle of OCD, you struggle to understand your ADHD, or you feel disconnected from yourself or your relationship. Maybe communication, intimacy, or unmet emotional needs are impacting your relationship. Or maybe you're a teen trying to navigate the challenges of growing up and are figuring out who you are. I believe that when one is in therapy, they should feel safe, empowered, and connected. Additionally, it should be a space for one to discover who they are, work through their struggles, and build confidence

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.
