Do you find your emotions to be overwhelming or avoid difficult emotions altogether? Are you struggling to feel comfortable being with yourself or with others, find it difficult to connect, feel numb, or simply don't want to feel anything? Feel trapped by your fears, or feel like life is unfulfilling, like something is missing? Sometimes the tools that once helped us to survive keep us from thriving. I can help you with your anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues, life stressors, burnout, and any kind of life transition. My goal is to help you figure out how to tune in, feel deeply, and live your life fully.
I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment theory, and I utilize a flexible, collaborative approach to your mental health treatment where your needs, safety, and wellbeing are at the center. My goal is to help you live a full, connected life, flexibly navigating all kinds of experiences, from joy to pain and everywhere in between.
If anything I've written resonates with you, I would love to connect for a consultation to see how we could work and grow together. I love what I do, and I care very much about my clients. Your experience matters to me.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy in my practice. Through the context of relationships - relationships to yourself and others, our therapeutic relationship, and your relationship to your thoughts and feelings - we explore and open up to what matters to you the most, in order to feel connected, secure, and to make meaning of your life.
