Healing and growth is possible! If you feel stuck, on edge, or disconnected from the people you love, you are not alone. I work with individuals and couples who feel trapped by worry, fear and painful patterns they can't seem to escape. My goal is to give you a safe place to process and hear your thoughts and experiences so that I can effectively support you. I specialize in OCD, generalized anxiety disorder, and trauma disorders. Painful experiences and fear can leave you feeling disconnected from your friends, family and even God. My role is to help you see what is going on under the surface and find a pathway forward.
I always seek to support my clients through active listening. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients begin a new relationship with their anxiety or trauma. I also use a Solutions Focused approach to help my clients uncover strengths, and move forward with purpose. Together we can break down the patterns you find yourself stuck in.
You are doing great! You have already made it this far. Schedule an appointment with me today by email and let's begin to write a new story.

I function mostly from a base of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which lets me help my clients stop fighting to escape their pain. I will hear you and see your pain and then we will walk toward it and face it together. ACT helps me help you begin a new relationship with your anxiety, relationship distress, or trauma. I cannot make all of your pain disappear but I can come bear it with you.
