Using evidence-based techniques like ACT, DBT and mindfulness, with tools to break unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and foster self-awareness.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate space for growth. My ideal client feels stuck—struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions—seeking clarity, relief, and self-understanding. They long to break unhelpful patterns, build confidence, and cultivate healthier relationships. Using an integrative, client-centered approach, I help them navigate challenges, develop coping tools, and foster self-compassion. My goal is to empower clients to move from struggle to fulfillment, embracing a more authentic and balanced life.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who have spent a long time holding things together for others. They may be navigating trauma, burnout, parenting challenges, or the quiet exhaustion of trying to live in environments that don’t quite fit. Some are exploring their neurodivergence for the first time, while others are parents or practitioners seeking a deeper understanding. I offer a reflective, collaborative space to make sense of these experiences and find ways of living that feel more aligned and sustainable.

Greta is a passionate therapist who provides an authentic, honest and trusting space where life's experiences can be shared. I work from the biopsychosocial model of health, which is essentially looking at how our biology (for example, genetics, physiology, physical injury), psychological factors (for example, emotions, beliefs, temperament), social factors (for example, cultural background, social support, family dynamics) interact.

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.
