My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

Something does not feel right, you are having a hard time. You’re stuck, conflicted, and can't decide what to do. Or maybe a part of you thinks one way and another part feels differently. You feel disconnected and alone. Others have tried to help, but you feel like they don't really get you and want you to "just get over it". Shame and frustration set in. Maybe you have a sense that some trauma from your past is blocking you from living the life that you want. You want to get unstuck, have a clear roadmap to know what to do next and how to go about healing. You want to experience real joy and connection again.

I am a practicing licensed marriage and family therapist. For the past 10 years I have worked in the crisis mental healthcare system. There I encountered clients at some of the worst times in their lives. I created a space and container for them to be in the moment. To be messy, to be where they were at that stage of discomfort, and be able to sit with that. I worked with some of the world's most marginalized and disenfranchised populations who were in a constant struggle of survival with a system that was deliberately built against them.

Accepting new clients: Life presents many challenges and everyone struggles at some point with mental health issues. Whether the struggle is a result of a loss (loved one, job, etc), divorce, depression (perimenopause), or feelings of being overwhelmed, we are impacted and it throws us off course. Many times, we tell ourselves, it’s ok, it’ll get better soon. However, the struggle continues and relief does not come. We may sink deeper into the issue and feel worse or ashamed. If you feel like this speaks to you, let’s connect. I can help you navigate these thoughts and feelings so you experience relief. You are not alone.

“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do” Brene Brown. My clients are those who are ready and willing to take ownership of their story in a way that feels authentic and empowering. This story ownership often involves self identity work, discovering or reclaiming values, setting boundaries/interpersonal work, learning how to both accept emotions and take action, self compassion, and learning to "come home" to yourself. Common issues I support are anxiety, depression, relationships, pregnancy and postpartum, life transitions, ADHD, perfectionism, and family of origin issues.
