Personal Growth
With over 26 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have come to understand that personal growth often begins in the stillness of our own thoughts—when we take the time to pause and genuinely listen to ourselves.
My therapeutic approach is deeply informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a method that invites you to observe your inner landscape with a sense of openness and compassion, rather than feeling compelled to fight against or fix every discomfort. This process allows for a greater understanding of your emotional world.
In our sessions, we will embark on a journey together to uncover what genuinely matters to you. We will clarify your core values, which serve as your guiding compass, and identify the recurring patterns in your life that may be keeping you from fully embracing your potential.
Throughout our work, I will equip you with practical mindfulness skills that help ground you in the present moment, enhance your capacity for self-compassion, and promote emotional flexibility. Together, we will cultivate actionable steps that lead to a life that feels not just adequate, but deeply fulfilling and authentic to who you are.
My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, directness, and collaboration. I believe therapy should feel like a real and meaningful conversation—one in which you can fully express yourself, delve into complex topics without fear, and start to reconnect with your own well of inner wisdom and resilience.
