I am interested in the intersection of mindfulness and psychology, which brings an emphasis on helping people cultivate awareness, self-compassion and acceptance.
I help adults at various life stages and across the cultural, socio-economic and identity spectrums, to navigate concerns related to depression and anxiety, relationships, family, grief, identity, health, and life’s many other challenges. My approach is to work collaboratively and actively with individuals in a friendly environment to help them gain awareness of and change unhelpful or unproductive patterns and habits that may be causing them distress. My hope is to assist people in living their lives with greater ease and in keeping with their personal values and goals.

My approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
If you’re looking for help, there is a good chance that you've felt overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, or felt lost in your relationships or life itself. I collaborate with each individual and couple, helping them feel understood and seen, rather than jumping to any quick-fix solutions. Using principles and skills drawn from both skills based and compassion focused approaches, I strive to help clients learn more about their underlying values, sense of self, and patterns that have played out in their lives. Through this process, we work collaboratively to develop the skills and insight to move towards fulfillment and purpose.

Engaging in the therapeutic process can be an incredibly rewarding act of self care. Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed with life’s challenges or be struggling to understand our reactions and emotions. It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of life’s daily challenges, and not take the time to step back and try to ease the worry. By allowing yourself the time, you can begin to renew a sense of empowerment while also reducing feelings of distress.

You feel overwhelmed with thoughts that make life seem everything but exciting. Trying your best to stay positive, but self-love doesn’t seem to grow inside you or feel natural. You struggle to stay connected to others and lose the most important relationship of all, that is with yourself. Being the spectator rather than the main character in your life has become a burden.

I do this by taking a relational, attachment-based approach to therapy while folding in acceptance and mindfulness skills-based work as needed.
In an era where we’re bombarded with self-love messaging from all sides, too many of us are left to struggle with the nagging question: “But how do I love myself?” Some of us—especially those carrying marginalized identities—were never taught. Instead, we were given life scripts urging us to make ourselves small and focus solely on the ways we come up short. The fact that you’ve taken this step to find support is a pivotal moment; you’re acknowledging that you deserve better, and you’re willing to do the work to get there. I’d love to help you with that.

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.
