By practicing acceptance, you can focus on taking actionable steps that move you towards your goals that align with your values.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily obligations? Do you find yourself having difficulty focusing? Maybe you find yourself thinking you’re not good enough or feel like an imposter. I know exactly what you’re feeling: feeling things are out of your control, the tension in your body, the feeling you can’t possibly get everything done without disappointing others and you want relief now. Anxiety can be debilitating, and I don’t want you to have to suffer anymore. Reframing thinking patterns can significantly reduce anxiety, and I look forward to teaching you the strategies that will give you your life back.

I specialize in EMDR for processing past challenges, integrating ACT or DBT for values and skills.
I'm drawn to those who've faced life's unfair blows, carrying the weight of trauma. It's not about fixing; they're not broken. Their needs center around shedding the burden of feeling defective due to past experiences. Together, we navigate their history, aiming not to erase but to transform. The goal is a fresh perspective, a chance to unshackle from the past, and embrace a new lease on life—a journey filled with compassion, understanding, and authentic growth.

On the outside you have it all together but on the inside you are falling apart, you continue to tell yourself you are just tired or stressed. Have you been struggling to do basic things and are uninterested in the things you once enjoyed. You are experiencing constant mood swings that you cannot explain or control, feeling hopeless and constant racing thoughts that make it difficult to get through each day. Do you find yourself spending money or overindulging in food for instant gratification?

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.
