I love incorporating modalities such as Acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help yourself and others the opportunity to win the struggles that you have with yourself every day.
Hello, I'm Adam. Do you feel that your past or present internal and external experiences are holding you back from experiencing positive emotions in your life? Do you feel that you will never be able to live the life you want to live if you continue to let your feelings and thoughts be the narrator of your life? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you may be struggling with managing psychological pain. You may not see it now, but you demonstrate the courage, compassion, and ability to move forward in your life even with the most difficult challenges that life has or is currently bringing to you.

I offer an integrated approach of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, and ACT skills to promote insight and growth.
It goes without saying that these have been trying times. With the stresses, losses, and fatigue brought on by the pandemic, and anxieties and uncertainty about the future, many of our daily routines have given way to depression, anxiety, tension with others, and unhealthy coping. Psychotherapy can provide the support needed to improve how you feel and function by reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms, reducing excess drinking or substance use, increasing awareness and skills in personal interactions, and improving your overall outlook on life.

There is little in this life I have found more uplifting then helping people overcome challenges and return to experiencing life in the present moment, where there is true peace, joy, and stillness. I believe in the power of each individual to take control of their lives and in doing so - accomplish their goals, feel happy, present and alive. We all benefit from connecting to a trusted source we can share deeply personal things with, opening ourselves in vulnerable ways with no risk of judgment. I take great pride in being that person for many and am blessed to do this work. This is my gift and I look forward to sharing it with you.

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.
