I work with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma-related concerns, OCD, and major life changes. Therapy with me is practical and conversational. We’ll look at the patterns you get stuck in, what happens when difficult thoughts or emotions show up, and whether the way you respond is moving you toward or away from the life you want.
My primary approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts and emotions, we work on changing your relationship with them so they have less control over what you do. We’ll build awareness of automatic patterns, clarify what matters to you, and find practical ways to respond differently.
You can expect therapy to be collaborative, direct, curious, and tailored to you rather than based on a rigid formula. I’ll help you notice patterns, teach skills when they’re useful, and sometimes challenge responses that work in the short term but create problems later. The goal is greater flexibility in how you respond to difficult experiences while continuing to move toward what matters to you.
