Unlovable. Unworthy. Not Good Enough. Out of Control. Exhausted. You look vibrant & happy from the outside, but really you’re just wanting to be accepted by others.

At least you won't lose someone.. again. Disconnected from the present. Stuck in thoughts about the past or fears of the future. Haunted and wounded by words and memories. You have a dream for the future, but you're feeling trapped and unable to move forward. Ready to re-write the story?

My approach is practical and personal: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma-focused care.
Anxiety has a way of making everything feel urgent. Depression can make even small things feel impossible. And trauma has a way of staying in the body long after the event has passed. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it by yourself. Whether you're a veteran carrying the weight of your service, a senior navigating life's later chapters, or simply an adult who is exhausted from holding it all together, there is a path forward. It starts with being genuinely heard by someone who cares.

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.
