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 your own judgment feels unreliable

Self-Trust & Identity

You handle things competently and still find yourself cycling through decisions you have already made, unsure whether your read on a situation is accurate or whether your reactions are warranted. That uncertainty has a source. Together we'll trace where it comes from, clarify what you actually value, and build a more consistent relationship with your own judgment.

03
When the same patterns keep repeating

Attachment & Relational Patterns

The ways we learned to connect in early relationships determine how we show up in the ones we have now. What felt safe to need, how much closeness was tolerable, and which parts of ourselves had to be managed early on become the patterns you carry forward. Together we'll look at where those came from and what it takes to shift them.

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
