I help adults and teens regain control, navigate emotions with clarity, and build the confidence and resilience to live a fuller, more connected life. With practical strategies and compassionate guidance, you can move past self-sabotage, anxiety, or trauma and start thriving on your terms.

I work with adults and teens who want to feel more in control of their emotions, navigate life’s challenges with clarity, and break patterns that keep them stuck—like self-sabotage, anxiety, or addiction. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or frustrated by recurring thoughts, behaviors, or emotional patterns, even while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.

Therapy with me focuses on understanding what’s happening beneath these struggles, experimenting with practical strategies, and building flexibility, resilience, and self-compassion. I also provide affirming support for neurodivergent adults and teens, including those with ADHD or autism, helping you thrive in ways that fit who you are.

My Approach

Empathy is one of the most powerful tools in counseling. I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply understood, supported, and not alone in what they’re carrying. I view therapy as both a place to be heard and a place to gently explore new ways of approaching life’s challenges. Together, we work to understand what’s beneath the struggle, experiment with new strategies, and build flexibility in how you relate to your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

My primary therapeutic approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping clients accept what is outside of their control while taking meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or feelings, ACT helps clients change their relationship with them so they no longer run the show. I also integrate techniques from CBT and DBT when a different or more structured approach is helpful.

Who I Work With

I work with clients ages 16 and older and offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I have experience supporting individuals navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I also work with clients with ADHD and autistic adults, helping them better understand their neurodivergence and develop practical, compassionate ways to adapt and thrive.

Over time, clients report:

A shift in how they see themselves and relate to their thoughts.

Feeling deeply listened to, understood, and supported.

A growing sense of comfort, safety, and acceptance.

The ability to accept what’s outside of their control and direct energy toward what is within it.

A clearer, more compassionate understanding of their life—and what they’re ready to change or strengthen.
