I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders in adolescents and adults. I have a particular interest in working with clients on identity development, relationship issues, body image concerns, academic struggles, and perfectionism. I utilize an active collaborative approach with a focus on harnessing each individual's unique strengths. I enjoy integrating acceptance-based cognitive behavioral tools as well as self-compassion and mindfulness into my therapeutic work. Trained in evidence-based techniques at Harvard and the University of Miami, I leverage the latest research findings to individualize treatment plans and optimize outcomes.

There's a strong, wise presence in us all - guiding our best actions. Sometimes we forget, doubt, reject this. Abuse, abandonment/neglect, trauma may have led to beliefs we're deficient, flawed - even deserving mistreatment and pain. Maybe we've been told - or heard - we must do or be certain things for love and acceptance. _______________________________________ Perhaps you're in touch with your inner strength and wisdom - more than you think - facing your challenges, seeking solutions to discover new ways of living and thriving. I am dedicated to supporting your journey - and welcome the opportunity to connect with you!

The stories that our brains tell us greatly impact the way that we navigate our world. You may find that your brain tells you stories about how things “should” be or creates catastrophic scenarios. These stories often come with physiological responses such as increased heart rate, sweating, or a knot in your stomach. Then your brain takes all this information and informs the way that you interact. So your experience is largely dependent on that story your brain first told you. While our brains are incredibly powerful, they sometimes get stuff wrong which can impact our relationships with ourselves and others.

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.
