What I Specialize In | Tended Path Counseling
Areas of Focus

What I work with

These are the areas where I've built my clinical focus and where I do my best work. If what you're carrying feels like it lives here, we're probably a good fit.

01
When your mind won't slow down

Anxiety

You might look completely fine on the outside while feeling like you're running on empty inside. Racing thoughts, perfectionism, health worries, the persistent hum of "what if", and it's exhausting to carry. Together we'll look at what's underneath the anxiety, not just manage the symptoms, so you can start to feel steady in a way that actually lasts.

02
When everything feels like it's shifting

Life Transitions

Transitions can feel destabilizing: career changes, relationship shifts, new roles, grief, or simply the sense that something has quietly shifted and you're not sure what. Therapy can be a place to pause, clarify what matters, and move forward with intention rather than reaction.

03
When parts of your story still feel unresolved

Identity & Trauma Recovery

The ways we learn to survive, in our families, our relationships, our own skin, don't always serve us later. Past experiences and the patterns they created can quietly shape your self-worth, your relationships, and the way you move through the world. Together we'll honestly examine what has held you back, reconnect you with who you actually are underneath it all, and start building something that fits the life you want now.

Lived experience doesn't sort itself into neat categories — and therapy shouldn't require you to. If you recognize something of yourself here, even partially, I'd welcome a conversation about whether working together makes sense.

How I
approach the work

My practice is grounded in two frameworks I find genuinely useful: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I don't apply them rigidly. I use what actually fits what you're bringing in.

I pay close attention to the connection between what's happening in the mind and what the body is carrying. Sessions feel more like a real conversation than a structured exercise, and I'll hold you accountable, to your goals, your values, and the version of yourself you're trying to grow into, without judgment.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
    Building psychological flexibility and living by your values rather than avoiding discomfort
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
    Understanding the different parts of yourself, including the ones that have been protecting you at a cost
  • Mindfulness-informed practice
    Woven in naturally, accessible, not prescriptive
  • Mind-body connection
    Attention to how stress, emotion, and experience live in the body, not just the mind
  • CBT & DBT skills
    Practical tools drawn in when they're the right fit for what you're working through
