Please note: I offer video sessions only. If you're feeling stuck or lost, or you're needing some guidance or a new perspective, I'm here to help. When you feel overwhelmed or swept by the currents, this can be an opportunity to get in touch with your values, clear away old debris, find direction, and regenerate your life. Using a strengths-based approach, we will work together to discover the resources within and around you to help you move forward.
My approach is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), combining mindfulness and behavioral techniques with a contextual perspective, honoring the human capacity for self-direction and change. We may also use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy or exposure and response prevention as needed to develop new skills and patterns of response.
I am trained in evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, CBT for Insomnia, and as a teacher of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I also bring an appreciation for and understanding of social/cultural context, with an MA in Anthropology and a multicultural background.
