About My Clients

Do you feel like you aren't living the life you want? Are you noticing you aren't showing up in the world as the person you want to be? I'd love to work with you to help you explore and identify what is standing in your way and to help you reconnect to what really matters to you in life. Sign up for a free 15 min consultation phone call to see if I would be a good match for you. Now is the time to take that first small step.

My Background and Approach

I have been working in the community for the past 6 years developing my therapeutic approach. I work mainly from an ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) approach. However, I also use cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing and I always encourage a regular mindfulness practice and values-based living.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that you are the expert in you. I aim to help you increase your awareness of your strengths and values. I also believe that while anxiety and depression can be debilitating, they are often signals that something in our life needs to change. I do this work because one of my most important values in life is reducing the suffering of others. I also value connecting with people of all backgrounds, and I treasure working with diverse populations. I provide a warm, non-judgmental place for you to be yourself.
