As clients desire, I welcome the integration of the Christian narrative, art activities, and mindfulness exercises into our time together.
Living in a world as beautiful and broken as ours often involves unexpected twists and turns. I help clients of all ages manage stress and anxiety, navigate life transitions, employ healthy boundaries, and effectively communicate their needs. Some of my clients feel stuck in the stuff of life. Others are experiencing significant professional, academic, or relational stress. Many come seeking greater understanding of their stories and attachment patterns. What they all hold in common is that they are simply, and profoundly, human.

I have over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations who have a variety of presenting problems. While I am versed in numerous evidence based modalities, I most frequently utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I value ACT’s emphasis on helping clients learn concrete skills for managing distressing thoughts and feelings, including its mindfulness component. Additionally, the importance of the therapeutic relationship is not to be underestimated. I am often described by my clients as someone who is easy to open up to, warm, a good listener, supportive, and someone with a good sense of humor.
