Are you feeling lost or stuck? Do you doubt or criticize yourself? Do you feel anxious or depressed? I would love to work with you to gain clarity into your experiences, so that you can find space for self-compassion and understanding to gain the freedom to live the life you really want. You may have had a painful childhood and had to learn ways to cope to survive - like pushing yourself really hard, burying your pain, or anything else just to get by. You may be exhausted by the struggle. Let's find that inner wisdom - what you really need to bring ease to your life and allow yourself to find a path that works for you, step by step.
We will focus on identifying and moving toward what really matters to you in life and understand how to spend less time with what is not working well. I see people who want to try something new - something that they can apply to many parts of their lives and develop a new relationship with themselves and their mind.
The intention I set forth in each meeting will be one of genuine curiosity, warmth, and a place to safely unwind. I balance a compassionate and easygoing approach that includes questions, observations, and methods to assist on your journey toward a greater sense of well-being. I look forward to meeting and learning more about you!

I mostly work with clients who have struggled to engage in life the way their heart wants to due to chronic anxiety and depression, difficult childhood experiences, and how they view themselves. Although I see many different people with diverse issues, I aim to help everyone understand themselves and their experiences with compassion in an effort to give lasting change and long-term well-being.

I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment therapy but pull from various theories as no one theory can explain the complicated nature of being a person. Additionally, I try to balance an active approach (for example, giving feedback and guiding questions) with giving space for the person to explore their own experiences. I encourage the people I see to learn and express what works best for them.
