Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. You deserve to feel heard, valued, and supported as you take this step. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, my role is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. In therapy, I offer a safe, collaborative space where you're free to express and explore the difficulties you've been carrying and grow in ways guided by your values and strengths. For parents seeking support for children, I provide a respectful, developmentally-appropriate, and accepting space where children are free to process through what they have been struggling with, while strengthening their relationship with you, and to grow their positive self-concept. My approach With teens/adults I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). I use ACT to support clients in identifying their core values -the qualities and directions you want your life to be guided by- and taking empowered steps toward those values, even when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. By identifying your values, normalizing your emotions, and creating a space for discomfort rather than avoiding it, you are able to learn to relate to these experiences in a new way -with acceptance, curiosity, and self-compassion. I use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) with adults/teens to help explore emotions, not as problems to be solved, but as messengers guiding us toward our needs, longings, and unprocessed pain so you may deepen emotional awareness, heal relationship wounds, and build more secure, connected bonds. EFT is grounded in the understanding that emotional safety and connection are central to our well-being. For couples and families, I use Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to help strengthen emotional bonds, repair relational wounds, and navigate conflict with greater understanding.
