I work best with people who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns of worry or sadness and are ready to try a new way of relating to their thoughts and feelings. If you’ve been pushing away difficult emotions, your mind, or others without success, we may be a good fit. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you build new skills and create space for what matters most. I typically work one-on-one and can integrate your faith, including Christianity, into the process when desired.

I believe change happens in therapy through learning and experiencing new ways to respond to challenges in our lives such as emotions, thoughts, pain, family, or spouses. I believe through these new experiences people's relationships with themselves and others deepen and become more driven by their own values and beliefs.

What makes therapy unique with me is my experience and training in specific couples therapy and individual therapy approaches. I have training in various evidenced based approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I have participated in Gottman Method Level 1 and 2 training.

We'll capture your consent to treatment including the limitations of confidentiality in therapy. We'll orient you to the model of treatment that best fits what you're coming to therapy for. We'll discuss how that model of treatment can support you and identify a plan moving forward.
