Not accepting new clients
I am committed to helping clients overcome negative issues and emerge from therapy empowered to reach their full potential. Whether you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem or relationship issues, therapy can help eliminate feelings of shame and guilt and increase positive self-image. Eradicating negative thought processes can help you regain a sense of self-control. My non-judgmental, humanistic approach to both individual and relationship sessions will make the most difficult step of "starting" much easier. I am presently accepting new individuals and couples for therapy.

We can use EMDR, ACT, CBT, or a combination of the three.
You, a go-getter, prioritize achievement and productivity. Why? Hitting goals helps you feel like you’re worthy and you belong. It’s part of your identity. The problem is, no matter how many gold stars you earn you never feel fulfilled. No matter how many accolades you receive, anxiety and stress still rule. You might feel afraid you’ll lose your edge or become lazy if you let your foot off the gas, yet you also know you don’t want to feel this depleted forever. Are you ready to try a different approach? Let’s team up to explore what truly matters to you and take action to align your life with your values.

I'll meet you and whatever you are feeling with compassion and unconditional acceptance, free of judgement.
I work with individuals and partnerships who are neurodivergent (ASD, ADHD) those in “alternative” relationship structures (LGBTQIA+, ENM, poly, open, swinging, kink), those who have experienced trauma, struggle with depression or anxiety, are hoping to do some self-exploration (sexual, gender, career, religious, etc.), or are looking for a change. Because every person is unique, your needs and desires will also be unique. I approach my work through a trauma-informed lens, using evidence-based practices that find a balance between thinking and feeling and emphasize the importance of connection, experience and safety.

Waitlist for new clients
My therapy style is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
Therapy is an experience that I have seen from both sides, as a client and clinician. This is why my approach comes from an empathic, relative point of view. My belief is that a client knows more about what they need better than anyone else. However, we all need guidance and assistance at times to help unlock our potential. I have learned that each client has their own set of core beliefs, maladaptive coping skills, and a significant barrier to obtaining the life we deserve. As a result, we can work to change these unhealthy behaviors one may use to numb and escape feelings that are destructive and harmful together.

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.
