Therapy for adults who are ready to feel less stuck and more connected to themselves.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are.  It's developing a deeper understanding of yourself, learning to respond differently to the patterns that keep you stuck, and building the self -trust to move toward what matters to you.

My approach is compassionate, warm, collaborative and practical.  I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and somatic approaches to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and behaviors. Together we can explore patterns that may no longer serve you, develop greater self compassion, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and identify meaningful steps forward.

I also believe that well-being involves the whole person-  mind, body, and the ways we care for ourselves in everyday life.  When appropriate, I incorporate conversations around health, nutrition, movement, and lifestyle as a part of a broader approach to emotional well-being.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.  Therapy can be a place to slow down, get curious about what's happening, and begin taking action toward the life you want to live. 

My goal is to help you build the skills, self-trust, and flexibility to move forward with greater intention and self-compassion.
