Life can bring experiences of transition, growth, and loss; some expected, others sudden; and it is not always easy to navigate them alone. Perhaps you have been masking emotions, staying busy to cope, or feeling disconnected from the person you used to be.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, life transitions, or overwhelm, therapy can help you reclaim your life and gain clarity so you can build a meaningful life. Individual therapy offers a compassionate space to process your experiences and take steady steps forward.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety and Depression, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy. These frameworks help reduce unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and support meaningful, lasting change.

Grief and Loss Through the ACT Approach

Grief therapy is not about “getting over” loss; it is about learning how to live with it in a way that feels compassionate and sustainable. Whether you are grieving a loved one, a relationship, a change in health, or a version of life you once imagined, your grief deserves space and understanding.

Using ACT for Grief and Loss, we focus on accepting difficult emotions rather than fighting them. Together, we will explore how to support you through this time while reconnecting you with the values that bring you meaning and direction.

This approach honors both your pain and your resilience. We will move gently, at your pace, to help you find clarity, purpose, and self-compassion in the midst of change.
