Great to meet you!

I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Professional Counseling, with over 20 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and I enjoy supporting individuals who are ready to move forward, build resilience, and create meaningful, values-driven lives.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, curiosity, and compassion. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop psychological flexibility and respond more effectively to life's challenges. Rather than striving to eliminate difficult thoughts or emotions, we focus on building resilience, clarifying what matters most, and taking meaningful steps toward a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with your values.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to begin understanding your story, what brings you to therapy, and what matters most to you. Together, we'll identify your goals, discuss what's getting in the way, and create a plan that helps you build practical skills and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
