I help people with anxiety, depression, loss, addiction, and illness to move through these experiences and connect with what matters in their lives. We'll create a space where we can take a deep breath, honor your struggle, and work together to develop a plan that fits your needs. My approach recognizes that it is natural for us to try to fight and shut down what feels difficult, but by opening up and feeling with purpose, we can also expand our capacity for creativity, connection, and courage. We will learn and use practical tools to help us respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, stay with experience, and act with intention. We'll explore love, work, play, and how we can live engaged and meaningful lives. I am based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and use evidence-based behavioral therapies with an existential, social justice, and eco-aware perspective. I have a background in literature, philosophy, and the arts. I bring all of this into my work to take a holistic, humanistic view of human experience. If you're feeling the squeeze in this off-kilter world we inhabit, I truly get it, and my goal is for you to leave therapy empowered to respond to hardship with flexibility and live out your values anyway.
