I specialize in using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to support clients in learning how to respond more flexibly to their internal experiences. Rather than fighting their thoughts and feelings—or getting swept away by them—my clients learn how to notice, accept, and skillfully work with their minds and emotions in order to live with more clarity, energy, and authenticity.

 

What Does That Actually Mean?

​

It means that I use structured, scientifically validated approaches—but always in a way that is personalized to you. Here’s a glimpse of how that may look:

• With ACT, we focus on helping you move toward what truly matters, even when discomfort shows up along the way. Together, we identify your core values, uncover where you're stuck in avoidance or struggle, and help you take small, sustainable actions that reconnect you with purpose.

​​

• With CBT, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. You’ll learn how to identify unhelpful patterns—like self-criticism, catastrophizing, or perfectionism—and begin to shift them in ways that support your mental and emotional well-being.

​​

• With mindfulness, we practice coming into the present moment—noticing what is happening internally and externally with openness rather than judgment. This is not about becoming “zen” or fixing everything. It’s about building awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.

​​

These approaches are powerful on their own—and transformational when combined. Whether you are recovering from burnout, looking for anxiety therapy, navigating identity shifts, or a major life transition, these methods help you build psychological flexibility, emotional clarity, and lasting change.

Areas of Specialty

Many of the individuals I work with are seeking therapy for anxiety because they’ve hit a wall. They’re often driven professionals, over-functioners, high-achievers, and committed caregivers who have spent years being the “strong one” or the “go-to person.” But now their bodies and minds are saying: something has to shift.

​

My areas of clinical focus include:

• Burnout and chronic overwhelm
  You may be exhausted, emotionally numb, and unable to find rest—even when you're not “doing.” Therapy offers a space to break free from the cycle of overwork and disconnection, and to begin restoring energy, meaning, and self-trust.

 

• Life transitions and identity shifts
  Whether it's parenthood, marriage or divorce, career changes, loss, or moving into a new stage of life, transitions can unsettle your sense of self. We’ll work to reclaim your internal compass and redefine what wholeness looks like for you.

​

• Anxiety and persistent stress
  Anxiety often shows up in the form of racing thoughts, overthinking, physical tension, and a constant feeling of “not enough.” I help clients understand their stress responses, develop practical coping strategies, and learn how to relate to their anxiety in a more empowering way.

​​

• Trauma 
  Many clients carry pain from the past that continues to shape their present experiences; and some have experienced events in their lives that have altered their sense of safety and personhood. Through an evidence-based trauma-informed lens, we’ll work gently and safely to increase regulation, process difficult experiences, and build an embodied experience of security and agency.
