What makes my therapy practice great is the balance of depth, compassion, and practical support I offer each client. I create a space where you can be fully seen and heard—without judgment—and where your challenges are met with curiosity, not criticism. My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which means we’ll focus not just on managing symptoms, but on helping you live a life that feels authentic, purposeful, and aligned with your values.
Clients often tell me they appreciate how real, down-to-earth, and collaborative our work feels. I bring warmth, sensitivity, and a touch of humor to the therapy room, helping you navigate hard emotions while also building clarity, confidence, and momentum. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you reconnect with your inner strengths and make meaningful choices, even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.
This work is deeply personal and profoundly hopeful—and I’m honored to be part of your journey.

Approach Description: I use a blend of behavioral and relational approaches to support each client in a thoughtful, personalized way.
