I am naturally drawn to a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy as well as a sprinkle of existential therapy which allows us to explore the highs and lows of life through a lens of acceptance.
Feeling heard and understood are human needs that lead to a fulfilling life. Finding a therapist that you connect with can be like any other relationship- frustrating until it clicks. I believe building a strong therapeutic relationship is the backbone of a meaningful therapy experience. As a therapist I am committed to leading with authenticity, openness, and respect so that you feel comfortable to show up as your whole self. Being human can be hard, and facing these difficulties in therapy can feel very vulnerable and scary. Together we'll navigate any and all emotions that arise and work toward your personal therapy goals.

I will often draw upon tenets of DBT, ACT, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
Welcome! I love working with people who have experienced trauma, chronic health issues, and significant grief and loss. Maybe you frequently ask "why me" or feel like no one is hearing what you're trying to say. Progress in grief work may be working up the courage to have that difficult conversation with your loved one, making it through the day without breaking down more than once, or getting out of bed and taking care of your most simple tasks. I enjoy working with any adult or teen whose experience of their grief feels too heavy to carry alone, and who may not know where to start to feel better.

Everyone deserves at least one place in their life where they truly feel seen and heard for exactly who they are, not just who they have been or who they could be. With compassion and curiosity, I want to build this space with you to create meaning, understanding and self- acceptance that can spread into all facets of your life. Life can be hard to navigate when you feel isolated and alone. There may be mornings you wake up and immediately feel the urge to close your eyes again, or nights that become sleepless with endless chatter in your mind. Together we can sort through the noise.

Using a holistic approach that brings in elements of ACT, CBT, and other mindfulness and body based work, and trauma informed care, I will work with you to help you on your journey to become the kind of person you want to be in the world.
I have have a lot of experience with anxiety, depression and OCD, as well as helping people with big life changes, self esteem, and relationship issues. Everybody is different, so in working together I will listen to you and what you need from me to help you the best. A big reason I decided to become a therapist due to the belief that if people are more connected and insightful about themselves—and how they imp act the world—the world itself will become a better place.

It is crucial to seek proper support when we decide to make a change because something is not working. No matter the reason for seeking help, the process often involves considering multiple perspectives and approaching issues from different angles to resolve the complex challenges of life.

My work has been targeted towards helping folx in marginalized communities. I worked to ensure inclusive and equitable practices in work and school spaces. My clinical journey started during grad school when I began working with a diverse group of adults who had eating disorders. Alongside eating disorders, I also worked with individuals who struggled with substance use, trauma, and other mood disorders.

Do you feel stuck? Looking to improve life? Experiencing a high conflict divorce? Kids acting out? Do you not know which way to turn? Come sit by the fireplace, let's talk.... Sometimes life just feels overwhelming! When you need extra support an outside perspective, or expert guidance, talking to a therapist or counselor can help. While the support of friends and family is important therapy is different. I am a professionally trained listener, who can help you get to the root of your problems, overcome emotional challenges, and make positive changes in your life.

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.
