Support for Life’s Big Shifts & Quiet Struggles
I've been there too. But there's a better way.
Whether it’s in relationships, work, or your own inner dialogue… it feels like you’re always looping.
You’re trying to fix the same patterns again and again
A life transition—motherhood, loss, career change—is shaking your sense of stability or identity.
You’re navigating a big shift
You feel like you have to stay strong, but inside, the pressure is catching up with you.
Overwhelmed with how much is constantly on your plate
Have You Felt Like this Lately?
You feel like you again
You stop abandoning yourself to please everyone else.
You start responding instead of reacting.
These are the kinds of shifts clients experience when they commit to showing up with honesty, curiosity, and support.
What If Things Didn’t Feel So Heavy All the Time?
You're more grounded, and the same triggers don’t hit as hard.
Boundaries feel clearer, and so does your sense of self.
Not fixed or perfect. Just more present, more connected, and more in tune with what matters.
Therapy with me isn’t about sitting on a screen and rehashing everything that’s gone wrong. It’s about showing up honestly, getting curious about what’s really going on, and finding tools that actually work.
I blend evidence-based practices with a grounded, real-world approach, so you leave each session with insight, clarity, and something to hold onto.
Looking for therapy that’s real, supportive, and actually helpful?

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are, And Moves With You Forward
While ACT serves as the foundation, sessions are tailored to you
Lasting change requires a different relationship with yourself. We replace self-criticism with honest awareness and self-respect. This creates emotional resilience and stability, especially for people who are used to pushing through instead of slowing down.
Strengthen self-compassion and emotional awareness
Overthinking is often a sign of high standards, pressure, and responsibility. We cut through mental noise and rumination so you can make decisions with clarity rather than doubt. This is about moving forward decisively, without needing certainty or perfection to act.
Reduce overthinking and internal struggle
We don’t chase emotional control, we build capacity. Instead of reacting or shutting down, you develop steadiness and self-trust so your inner world no longer dictates your direction.
Build a healthier relationship with your thoughts and emotions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the foundation of my work. Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable thoughts or emotions, ACT helps you build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, respond with intention, and take action aligned with what truly matters to you.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
My Approach
Insight alone doesn’t change your life. Action does. We focus on translating awareness into clear, values-aligned decisions that move your life forward. You learn how to take meaningful action even when discomfort is present, building momentum, confidence, and alignment over time.
Take meaningful, values-driven action, even when life feels hard
In addition to ACT, I integrate complementary, body-based and mindfulness-informed approaches as appropriate, treating you as a whole person not pathology.
