Treatment is tailored to each individual, and is based in therapeutic modalities including Psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness practices.
If you are struggling with a life transition, relationship issue or feeling stuck in a cycle of worry or sadness, I am here to listen to you and help.

We will examine the important information that your emotions convey, understand long-held narratives that may no longer serve you, and learn to expand self-compassion in life’s harder moments.

Life comes with ups and downs which can at times feel difficult and overwhelming to navigate. I believe that nobody has to go through it alone, and that therapy can be a wonderful and safe space to build tools to help you get through life's challenges. I have a warm, open, and empathetic approach, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental and comfortable therapy environment for my clients using a strengths based perspective. I utilize several different modalities such as CBT, ACT, IFS and brief strategic among others, but I believe that each client is unique and I will tailor an approach specifically for you and your needs.

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.
