Are you looking for support managing anxiety? Would you like to address an addiction to drinking or other substances? Do you have questions about supporting a loved one who is struggling with an addiction? Is perimenopause affecting you emotionally as well as physically?
I primarily work with individuals looking for support with these and other mental health concerns. This may include exploring sobriety, navigating life’s challenges such as ending relationships, feeling overwhelmed by career shifts, and coping with changes in body image and self-worth during perimenopause.

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.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I have immersed myself in personal growth, education and clinical training over the last decade. My lived experience combined with academic and clinical training allows me to offer compassionate, informed support to help you navigate life's challenges.
