Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Petworth, Washington, DC
My therapy style has been influenced by my experience and training in mindfulness-, emotion-focused-, dialectical behavioral and acceptance-based models.
I believe that in order for change and healing to occur, we have to get comfortable in the uncomfortable by accessing our true feelings and emotions. In our sessions, my job is to create safety for us to "go there".

I use tools like IFS-informed “parts” work, body-based somatic exploration, and mindfulness/ ACT/DBT to help clients become more emotionally present and more intentional in their lives.
I particularly enjoy working with dads, and parents in general. I'm a great fit for men managing the pressures of work, love, and masculinity in a complicated world. I love helping meditators, mind-body adventurers, and spiritual seekers of all stripes. And I work well with autistic or "autistic-ish" adults who want to relate to neurodivergence in new ways.

Life can be challenging and the additional obstacles of change, strong emotions and a lack of a sense of control can make the challenge feel overwhelming. I partner with people to help them learn skills to overcome or manage these obstacles in order to feel a better sense of control and resilience. In 2009, I began my career working with adults struggling with addictions and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety with a family systems perspective.

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.
