About My Clients

Are you overwhelmed by relentless anxiety, stress, panic, or self-doubt? Are you constantly checking things, needing reassurance, are avoidant to do things as a result of fears or anxiety? Do you feel like you're never doing enough, despite your accomplishments? Do your relationships and ability to keep up with important things seem to suffer? I can help you free from anxious patterns, self-doubt, and work with you to find balance. I offer effective, evidence-based ways to find lasting peace.

My Background and Approach

I offer an integrative, mind-body approach. Leveraging Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and compassion-focused practices can help you develop healthier thinking patterns, improve how you experience emotions, and take values-aligned action. My work is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your values and goals. I used these methods and approaches because they are often the most effective. Over the last 13+ years, I've worked in private practices, higher education, and primary integrative healthcare with naturopaths and physicians. I have extensive experience and training treating anxiety disorders like social anxiety, general anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, and related issues, as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I've trained other Therapists and emergency responders in domestic violence and provide consulting to Therapists on treating anxiety and OCD. I'm also Gottman level 2 trained.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Therapy is a personal process– your experience matters most. My goal is to meet you where you are and provide you with the skills, resources, and potential perspectives that make the most sense for your needs. I'm LGBTQ+ allied and value practicing through a culturally aware and ethical lens. I'm passionate about evidence-based practices because utilized appropriately, it can truly make a difference. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone, and you definitely don't need to keep living in the cycle of anxiety and over-control. If you're ready to feel more grounded, confident, and in purposeful in your day—let’s talk. I offer a free, no-obligation consultation so you can decide if I'm the right Counselor for you.
