About

Do you have a habit of "spiraling" or overthinking? Do you find yourself coping with stress or difficult emotions by escaping with food, substances, or other behaviors? Are you struggling with worry or numbness that is impacting you more and more? Whether it's depression, anxiety, social anxiety, substance use, disordered eating, or relationship issues, I believe that acceptance, mindfulness, being present, and committing to living by your values can cultivate meaningful changes and long-lasting transformation. I use ACT, CBT, DBT, and EFT while applying multicultural sensitivity and trauma-informed care. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide clients towards living meaningful, values-based lives, even when encountering challenges. With couples, I use an attachment-based approach, Emotionally Focused Therapy, to break cycles of disconnection and co-create new cycles of connection. With children, I use play therapy, and I also work with adolescents.
