Welcome
About Me
Life can be overwhelming. In the midst of stress, grief, or uncertainty, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. I offer a warm, thoughtful space to reconnect with yourself, your values, and the deeper meaning life is asking of you.
I work with adults who are facing anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. I offer a unique approach to psychotherapy that weaves together spirituality and psychology. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s meaning-centered philosophy, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices to support growth and healing. I take a solution-focused approach, emphasizing practical steps and forward momentum.
At the heart of my work is the belief that we are spiritual beings, capable of reaching beyond our emotions and circumstances toward something greater. Together, we’ll explore the values that anchor you and the steps that can bring those values to life.

Therapy Isn’t Just About Feeling Better.
It’s About Living Better.
My Approach
Therapy often begins with painful emotions: anxiety, anger, guilt, grief. I help clients learn to face those emotions with greater compassion and flexibility, so they can move forward in ways that align with their values - even when things feel hard.
In our sessions, I draw on tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including mindfulness, self-compassion, and values clarification. Our work is practical and action-oriented. Together, we’ll identify what matters to you, set goals, and test ideas in real life.
Values become clearer through lived experience. Over time, life’s feedback helps loosen old beliefs and illuminate new pathways forward.
My work is solution-focused and goal-oriented. I aim to help you reconnect with your agency and shape a life you are proud to stand for.
