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.
- Emotion-Focused Therapy Emotion-focused therapy supports emotional awareness and expression, helping individuals understand underlying feelings, transform unhelpful emotional patterns, and develop healthier responses to personal and relationship challenges.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: My approach is insight-oriented and emotionally attuned, going beyond a quick fix and digging into roots of unhelpful behaviors and attitudes. We explore and sit with discomfort, gain insight into patterns shaping your relationships and choices, implement new ways of doing things, and identify what aligns with your values now.

You’re facing a major life transition or role change, or may be questioning your identities or beliefs. Perhaps you’re anxious or depressed, dissatisfied with your relationships, feeling stuck in unhelpful behaviors and struggling to make lasting change. Many of my clients are facing changes to long-held roles, beliefs, or sources of meaning—whether in early adulthood, midlife, or the twilight years of retirement. Many strive to change and feel better, but find themselves playing out the same old stories, over and over. Others are experiencing deep shifts in identity—some chosen and some not—and need validation and guidance.
