ACT helps you build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than spending all your energy trying to get rid of them. We’ll explore what matters most to you, practice making room for uncomfortable experiences, and work toward meaningful action that aligns with your values. I especially love ACT because it allows therapy to focus not just on feeling better, but on building a life that feels more like your own.

I work with veterans navigating the transition to civilian life, trauma, anxiety, stress, identity changes, and the challenges that can come with military experiences. I strive to create a space where you don’t have to explain or minimize what you’ve been through. Using an integrative, collaborative approach—including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and other evidence-based tools—we’ll work together toward healing and moving forward.

ADHD can affect much more than focus. It can impact organization, motivation, relationships, emotions, work, school, and the way you see yourself. I work with teens and adults to better understand how ADHD shows up in their lives and develop practical strategies that actually fit who they are. We’ll focus on building confidence, self-understanding, and tools you can use in everyday life.

If you’re dealing with intrusive thoughts, unwanted images, fears, or compulsive behaviors, you don’t have to face them alone. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and ACT to help you better understand the OCD cycle, reduce the power it has over your life, and move toward the things that matter most to you. Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and never about judging you for the thoughts that show up.

CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical tools to help you respond differently. I use CBT in a collaborative and individualized way, adapting it to your goals and what’s actually happening in your day-to-day life.

ERP is a highly effective approach for OCD that helps you face fears and uncomfortable thoughts without relying on compulsions, avoidance, or reassurance. We’ll work together to understand your OCD cycle and gradually practice responding differently to anxiety and uncertainty. My goal is to make ERP feel collaborative, supportive, and manageable while helping you take back the parts of life OCD may have taken from you.
