My Practice

Welcome! People often seek therapy at times in their lives when they feel disconnected, stuck, or like the rug has been pulled out from beneath them. I appreciate how significant and courageous of a step it is to pursue therapy.

I provide therapy for individual adults and couples with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, loneliness, grief, chronic pain/illness, trauma, and substance use. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based principles derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). With couples, I also draw from Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT).

I view therapy as a collaborative and exploratory process where we work together to discover what is getting in the way of living a life that is meaningful to you. I place strong emphasis on cultivating a unique relationship with each client after first establishing therapy as a safe and secure environment where we can explore the challenges you’ve been facing. In addition to focusing on changing unhelpful patterns of behavior, I will help you create new practices for living a meaningful and values-based life. Therapy can bring up difficult emotions and thoughts, yet these moments are opportunities to practice different, more helpful ways of coping. One of the ways this happens is through practicing new ways of relating through exploring in-the-moment strategies within each therapy session.
