Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a helpful tool when managing chronic issues commonly found in mental health, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. ACT works by working with the symptoms and normalizing issues related to one's mental health. All too often I find that, unfortunately, many shame themselves for struggling with their mental health. ACT helps you clearly see your mental health as being part of you, but also how you are so much more.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a fantastic tool to help understand the system of your mind. It helps describe how your thoughts impact your emotions, which influences your behaviors, leading to back to affecting your thoughts. Once you understand this cycle, you can use it to your advantage, giving you back your sense of control. I enjoy using CBT as a tool in my practice, and have many coping skills and examples to help apply it to your unique situation.

Motivational Interviewing is about getting unstuck. We all wish to get better, of course, but often times many feel like they are hitting a wall and are unsure as to why. They fall back into the same patterns they know are harmful, know they need help, or lack the huge amount of energy in managing their symptoms, let alone improve upon them. Motivational Interviewing is a client-centered and goal-oriented technique, identifying the goals important to you and creating a plan to get there.

I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, helping clients quickly identify their strengths, set clear goals, and develop practical strategies for change. My approach is direct and action-oriented—focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. With experience guiding individuals through anxiety, depression, and ADHD, I empower clients to build momentum and create meaningful, lasting progress—one achievable step at a time.
