I specialize in helping those who are anxious and overwhelmed learn to recognize and honor their needs - it may mean: giving yourself permission to slow down, scale back, set healthy boundaries, go after what you truly want, and be yourself (authentically and unapologetically). As your partner on this journey, I’ll help you muster your strength, foster your self-acceptance, and feel more at ease.
If you’ve always cast aside your own needs to give everyone and everything your all, I want to help you finally get what you deserve: better relationships, self-care, and greater life satisfaction.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: I primarily practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; pronounced as one word). ACT may be considered a "third-wave" form of CBT. I also offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and related disorders.
More importantly, I aim to prioritize my clients' stated needs and values (what you find most important or meaningful in life) and put less emphasis on diagnosis or "labels". I value transparency and authenticity in my work, and you may reasonably expect my humor, nerdy interests, and creativity to show up in our sessions.
