I provide a collaborative space for teens and adults to explore their emotions, relationships, current and earlier life challenges. My relational, processed-focused approach is about using self understanding as a catalyst for change. My ideal client is seeking more than just symptom relief or 'tips and tricks,' although I do believe coping skills are a necessary foundation for deeper work. If you're looking to build insight, self-compassion and emotional understanding, we may work well together. Typically, I assign in-between session practices, but I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea.

I use approaches like EMDR, DBT, CBT, and ACT—but we’ll tailor things things to you.
Maybe your mind is always racing, or maybe it just goes blank when you're under pressure. You might feel like you're too much and not enough at the same time. You’ve learned to hide the overwhelm, the disorganization, the people-pleasing, or the shutdown moments—but it's costing you.

I help adults with ADHD, trauma, and anxiety who feel stuck in cycles of burnout, self-doubt, and emotional overload.

What if the ways you've learned to protect yourself are also the things keeping you stuck? The patterns we develop often make sense in the context of our experiences, but they don't always continue to serve us.

You’re navigating so much- relationships, expectations, career decisions, life pressures & all the other complexities of being human. Maybe part of you feels anxious or overwhelmed, while another part is exhausted from trying to keep everything together. You might even notice an inner critic that won’t let up, or a part that shuts down when things feel too intense. And still, there’s a part of you that wants something different- more ease, more clarity, more self-trust. Therapy can be a place where all of these parts are welcomed, understood, and supported.

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.
