I help overwhelmed parents overcome anxiety in order to balance daily life with confidence. You want to feel calm inside, but deep down you feel like a mess!

However, you're ready to make lasting changes. You’re eager to learn daily tools, explore ALL the feelings...including anxiety, and take care of your stress and exhaustion. Together, we can work towards helping you achieve a sense of relief on a daily basis.

Hello and welcome! I work with individuals 13+ who seek to find more effective ways to navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity issues, relationship conflicts, and difficult transitions. In my practice, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a method that fosters psychological flexibility. ACT helps clients respond more effectively to life’s challenges by learning how to “unhook” from unhelpful thoughts and feelings. This process reduces the impact of these unhelpful inner experiences and frees up space to act in accordance with your chosen values and ultimately live a more fulfilling life.

What brings people to therapy varies, but some of the individuals I work with are folks who: are children of parents with mental illness or substance use issues, struggle with interpersonal relationships, tend toward self-criticism, self-sabotage, or have intrusive thoughts, feel immobilized to pursue their goals, have perfectionistic tendencies and high expectations for self and others, who want to unlearn unhelpful messages from family or societal systems, or wish to explore their gender or sexuality.

As a therapist, I rely heavily on the power of the therapeutic relationship, viewing this relationship as the foundation for safety in working with individuals and their internal systems. Our work together develops insight into one's own internal landscape and explores the wounds that create difficult emotions, thoughts and patterns in day to day life. Working together, such processing fosters a relationship with oneself in a way that goes beyond their past.

Are you ready to end your struggle with negative self-talk, disruptive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, constant anxiety or depressed thoughts? Some common thoughts my clients express are: “My anxiety is paralyzing,” “I always end up in these destructive relationships,” “I’ll never find the right person,” “I’m a terrible parent,” “I’m such a failure,” “I keep making the same mistakes,” “I’ll never be good enough.” I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to keep feeling this way. You don’t have to stay disconnected and lonely, anxious or overwhelmed. Change is possible. Congratulations on beginning this process.
