Experiencing harm & rejection from caregivers, family of origin, or partners can wound us deeply. Painful memories overshadow your daily life. You find yourself in similar relationships, making yourself small to get some semblance of love & safety. You spend so much energy anticipating & attending to others’ needs, that yours are overlooked. You feel like you have abandoned yourself. You’re ready to heal & embrace your full, authentic self & are looking for the right support for this journey.

I mostly support individuals dealing with acute or chronic depressive and/or anxious thinking, feeling, and behaving. Through a combination of mindful education via psychological research, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I help clients break unwanted patterns that prevent the sustainable peace and happiness they desire.
