I love helping people to overcome barriers and find strategies to achieve success in their lives. I foster a client counselor relationship with an environment of total acceptance for the individual, and believe that the client counselor relationship is very important. I value the experience each individual takes with me in therapy. I assist clients to take action in their lives based on their own values and believe that everyone can increase psychological flexibility and decrease psychological suffering. I work with clients to find ways to grow into the person they want to be by using therapy to facilitate positive changes in their life.

It is ok to hit the pause button and ask for additional support to process what life has thrown your way. Additionally, you may have noticed ineffective behaviors or ways of coping. Asking for support is often the most important step to living our best life. My approach is to come beside you to better understand the origin and function of life interfering behaviors. Together, we work as a team to empower you, identify values, practice new forms of coping, and embrace change. If you struggle with disordered eating patterns, body image, depression, or anxiety my training and experience might be a good fit for your needs.

Handling day to day life with anxiety, Autism, or ADHD takes a ton of energy - finding a therapist with experience with severe or long-term mental illness can be equally exhausting. As a clinical psychologist, I have the training and experience necessary to help life seem a little less overwhelming. My clients often find that they have visited many therapists, but never seem to feel understood or make progress. This is even more difficult for neurodivergent clients (or those who wonder if they have Autism or ADHD), as it's difficult to get a clear diagnosis. This leads to a long-term, frustrating cycle of trying to find a good fit.
