Hi! How are you doing? Looking for a therapist doesn’t have to mean you’re not doing well, but it’s also okay if you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or not yourself. Maybe you’ve done therapy before and feel like it’s time to get back into it, or you’ve hit a point in your life where you simply can’t go on without finally addressing whatever is holding you back. Is it debilitating anxiety, really low moods, or constant conflict with your loved ones? Maybe it’s deeper, like painful past experiences catching up to you or struggling to adapt to big changes, like becoming a parent or grieving a loss. I'm here to help as best as I can.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy or “quick fixes.” I prefer to offer a thoughtful, steady space for self-understanding, self-compassion, and sustainable change. The approach I pull from the most, among many others, is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, due to its evidence-based, digestible concepts that result in long-lasting change.
If my approach speaks to you, I invite you to reach out for a free 10 min phone consultation where I can answer any questions and we can determine if we're a good fit to work together! Please check your spam/junk folder as sometimes my emails end up there!

For clients wanting to work through big life changes and anxiety, we begin with exploring what you are struggling with the most, like stressful thoughts and intense emotions. Then, we will learn ways to practice acceptance while also changing our relationship to those thoughts and feelings. While we do this, we will constantly be checking in with your values.

My main approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on making room for difficult thoughts and feelings (not trying to change them), while also committing to values-based actions (doing what matters to you). I also have a basic understanding of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, although I do not offer full model DBT.
