I draw on my experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my training as a certified Multi-Dimensional Family Therapist and Recovery Coach designation.
My goal is not to “fix” or make you “forget” your trauma or illness, but to support and help you navigate through it in a way that allows you to feel in control and confident in yourself. My aim is to create an environment to work alongside you to identify goals, overcome obstacles, and explore new ways of thinking.

There are many struggles in life that bring people to therapy. I specialize in helping people who are battling cancer or trying to navigate their life post cancer. Living with cancer takes enormous strength and courage. Some people experience feelings of anxiety or depression during cancer treatment, while others struggle with finding a “new normal” after they are cancer free or in full remission. I work with those who want to regain the energy, desire, and stamina to forge ahead. And those who are ready to turn their fear into personal power so they can live a more peaceful, joyous life.

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.
