I primarily work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and narrative therapy. I help clients to author their own experiences, and help clients feel empowered to feel their feelings safely and securely and pursue their own goals with my support. I know that seeking therapy, whether for the first time or merely the latest of many attempts, takes a lot of trust, energy, and vulnerability. I hope to meet that effort with the respect it and you deserve. My work centers the client as the expert in their own life, and my role is to help you achieve your goals on your terms, with the support you need.

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.
- Adlerian Therapy Focuses on understanding a person’s sense of belonging and purpose. It helps people overcome feelings of inferiority and create healthier relationships.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- 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.
