Approach
I help clients to cope with life’s struggles and transitions, physical and emotional symptoms, and to break free from unhelpful patterns like avoidance, self-criticism, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm. I guide them to develop skills related to psychological flexibility, by learning how to face difficulties without getting stuck in them, so they can engage with life in a fulfilling, mindful, and self-empowered way.
