Introduction

I'm passionate about providing a space where all can feel respected, supported, and have access to the mental health care they desire and deserve. If you're hoping to find ways to reduce feelings of loneliness or conflict with others, I'd love to work with you. I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and person-centered therapy and strive to help clients identify their values and use them as a guide for their behavior. I believe that practicing present-moment awareness through mindfulness and meditation can be healing and life-changing for those who are willing to experience it. I am a strong believer in providing a non-judgmental space for individuals to challenge themselves in ways that they may never have believed were possible.
