I specialize in working with people seeking relief from Anxiety, Depression, relationship issues, and parenting.

When working with depression, I take a collaborative and compassionate approach that focuses on understanding both the emotional and practical challenges you’re facing. Together, we explore the patterns of thinking and behavior that may be keeping you stuck and develop healthier ways to respond to life’s difficulties. I integrate CBT therapy and ACT techniques to help you build awareness, challenge self-critical thoughts, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

When working with clients with anxiety, I help them understand the thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations that contribute to their distress. Together, we identify patterns that may increase worry and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. I use CBT and ACT techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and increase present-moment awareness. For clients whose anxiety is connected to past experiences, I incorporate EMDR therapy to process trauma.

I help clients explore patterns in communication, boundaries, and emotional connection. Whether you are navigating conflict, intimacy concerns, or major life transitions that impact relationships, I help you gain insight into yourself and your interactions with others. I provide practical tools to improve communication, build trust, and foster healthier, and more fulfilling relationships.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured psychotherapy approach used to help people process and heal from distressing memories, trauma, and other difficult life experiences. During EMDR sessions, your therapist will guide you in briefly recalling aspects of a troubling memory while engaging in a form of bilateral stimulation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps people understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. In CBT, you and your therapist work together to identify patterns of thinking that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, or other difficulties. You’ll learn skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop more balanced perspectives, and practice behaviors that support your goals and well-being.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people develop a more flexible and compassionate relationship with their thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, ACT teaches skills for accepting internal experiences and reducing the struggle against them.
