My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. As an ACT therapist, instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.
I primarily provide online individual therapy with late teens and adults (of all ages). In addition to depression and anxiety, I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients. I am a Certified World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Global Education Initiative Standards of Care 7 Member. Other areas of focus in my work include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, depression, trichotillomania, and college student mental health.
All my services are provided through telehealth and I am licensed in Nevada, Oregon and I am authorized to practice in 30+ “PSYPACT” states.
