Anxiety, depression, and relationship problems are experiences that we all go through from time to time. If you feel overwhelmed by negative, unwanted feelings or believe you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any combination of stress that has impacted your peace of mind or disrupted your relationships, then we would be a good fit. You are certainly not alone in your struggle and deserve to recapture the peace of mind and joy that escapes you these days. As such, my primary goal is to help you shift from feeling good to living well. Drawing from diverse educational, career, and life experiences, I use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Process-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as mind-body approaches to support individuals holistically. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 30 years of experience. I use compassion, positive psychology, and understanding to help adults and adolescents become their best selves. Therapy is a safe space to address mental health struggles or challenges while also helping you overcome obstacles. As mentioned, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) heavily influence my therapeutic approach. This approach is most effective in treating addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma and in helping individuals or couples facing relationship or parenting difficulties. Through ACT, you'll learn to be more psychologically present, connect with your values, make room for life's inevitable pain, take effective action despite emotional discomfort, and appreciate each moment of your life. While my specialty is brief therapy, in some cases, an extended therapeutic relationship may be necessary and helpful, especially for adults and parents trying to navigate complex mental health struggles as well as difficult child-rearing adjustments at home.
