I aim to create an environment that is respectful, supportive, and collaborative. My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Thus, instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts, feelings, or emotions, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important ...

I also believe that they can grow and create better lives for themselves with the appropriate support. My approach to helpi...

I am passionate about empowering clients to gain self confidence, a stronger sense of identity and the ability to build healthy relationships. I believe how we move through the world is directly connected to our most basic understanding of our selves, and the relationships and role models we have grown up with.
