Romantic relationships, family ties, friendships, and work connections — I help you spot recurring patterns, communicate more clearly, and set healthy boundaries. Together we’ll work on resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust, and making choices that match your values so your relationships feel safer, clearer, and more satisfying.

I help clients understand triggers and unhelpful thinking patterns, build emotion-regulation skills, and practice gradual exposure to feared situations. Together we will work to reduce avoidance and increase confidence—so anxiety becomes manageable rather than controlling your life.

I help clients build lasting self-esteem by identifying unhelpful self-beliefs, strengthening self-compassion, and practicing skills that increase mastery and confidence. Using evidence-based approaches (CBT, schema work, and mindfulness), I guide goal-setting, behavioral experiments, and values-aligned action to reduce self-criticism and foster a more resilient, authentic sense of self.

I treat anxiety by helping clients understand triggers and unhelpful thinking patterns, build emotion-regulation skills, and practice gradual exposure to feared situations. Using CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed strategies, I teach breathing, grounding, and behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and increase confidence—so anxiety becomes manageable rather than controlling your life.

Using ACT, I can help clients live a values-driven life despite difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT teaches skills to notice and make space for painful experiences (acceptance), observe thoughts without getting stuck (cognitive defusion), stay present, clarify what matters to you (values), and take small committed steps toward those values. Practically, we practice mindfulness, build willingness to face discomfort, and design actions that increase meaning and psychological flexibility.

Above all and at the root of my belief as a therapist, is this treatment orientation. I use person-centered therapy, which trusts you as the expert of your life. I offer genuine presence, empathic listening, and unconditional positive regard to create a safe space for self-exploration and growth. I believe therapy should focus on your goals and pace, helping you access your own insights and strengths to move toward greater authenticity and well-being.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, test and reframe them, and build practical skills that reduce distress. We’ll use clear, goal-focused techniques—like thought records, behavioral experiments, and exposure—to change patterns and improve mood, anxiety, and daily functioning.
