Inclusive and accommodating care, I welcome clients of all identities and abilities and focus on establishing a supportive and genuine relationship.

Sometimes life hits you hard, sometimes so often it feels like it won't get any better. You may be feeling stuck and in need of support for the first time, or you've felt this way for as long as you can remember; in any case, I'm here to tell you change is possible. Joy and meaning can be a part of your life again. I specialize in helping clients struggling with Anxiety, Panic and OCD symptoms re-engage in a life worth living, regain control over their lives, and build foundational understandings of how the mind works to create lasting change. I've walked with clients from rock bottom all the way to the best days of their life. We can begin that life you hope for today. Not later, not when therapy is over. Today. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a scientifically supported and deeply personal process of change. We will uncover what exactly is keeping YOU stuck and what works best for YOU as an individual to create the life you want to live. I'll walk alongside you as a fellow traveler, just as I have with many before you. From fear, hopelessness, and pain, to freedom, peace and vitality. It's an endeavor worth taking on, and I'll be right there with you.
