Therapy with me feels like sitting down with a trusted friend who truly understands you and also has personalized tools, including ACT Therapy, to guide you toward meaningful growth. I aim to create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and supportive—a place where you can let your guard down, be yourself, and explore what’s holding you back. My goal is to make therapy not only effective but also an enjoyable experience, one that feels like a reprieve from life’s stressors. I love to laugh and believe that humor is a balm for the rainy days of life and a powerful way to rejuvenate a weary soul. Together, we’ll embrace both the serious work of healing and the lighthearted moments that remind us of the joy in growth.

I am deeply passionate about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an approach that helps clients develop psychological flexibility by exploring their values, practicing mindfulness, and taking meaningful action. ACT empowers clients to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and clarity, helping them connect with what truly matters and take steps toward a life aligned with their deepest goals and values. Whether you’re seeking clarity, coping with transitions, or looking to overcome obstacles, I aim to help you find a sense of balance, purpose and meaning.

Additionally, I am trained in Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry method, a transformative approach to trauma integration. This training informs my practice, which is rooted in empathy, understanding, and empowerment. I work collaboratively with clients to uncover the underlying beliefs and patterns that may be limiting their growth, gently guiding them toward new insights and greater self-awareness. Together, we’ll work to build a life filled with authenticity, connection, and purpose—one that truly reflects the person you want to be.
