To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear. We all have times when we need extra support to work through life's challenges. Whether it be mental health concerns, trauma, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, life transitions, family relations, work stressors, or any other difficult circumstance; you don't have to walk this journey alone. Together we will work to empower you to put your needs first and take steps to reach your goals. Everyone has a story and is worthy of space to tell it, and together we will honor, heal, and learn from your experiences.

Using an integrative approach, I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, supportive and solution-focused traditions that can be combined and tailored to fit your individual needs.
Therapy often targets learning how to make reasonable and realistic expectations of ourselves and the people around us. We can figure that out together. Plus, humor and laughter can provide relief for life's challenges. We'll look at making changes mindfully, from a "could, not should" perspective.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?

The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?

A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
