Are you feeling stuck between who you are and who you know you were meant to be? I help clients grappling with meaning, mortality, authenticity, and purpose. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I specialize in depression, anxieties, and addictions that have these deeper existential roots. I help people struggling with shame, loneliness, heartbreak, aging, illness, grief, and loss of meaning build a life worth living and a Self worth living it. I believe in building new skills. But my ultimate aim is to help you find and liberate your higher Self.
