I use ACT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches, but mostly I just meet you where you are.
If you're here reading this, heck yes—that took courage. Therapy can feel intimidating or messy or long overdue, but it also means you're done trying to carry everything alone.
I work with people who are rebuilding their lives after hard families, after realizing you've been living for everyone else, or finally admitting that the life you built doesn't fit who you actually are. My clients include LGBTQ+ folks navigating identity and family rejection, people exploring Jewish identity in a politically charged world, and anyone who's spent too long trying to squeeze into spaces that were never built for them.

The reality of becoming a mom is almost always different than how you envision it. Maybe you are struggling to conceive, coping with the loss of a pregnancy, or ending a pregnancy. Maybe you don’t actually like being pregnant or experience anxiety about your pregnancy or childbirth.

I work with clients of all ages to help cultivate healthy coping skills for day to day life. I am a firm believer in my favorite quote by John Milton: "The mind is it's own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven."

With a special emphasis on mindfulness, I help clients identify tools they often forget they already have in their possession to be their healthiest, and happiest selves.

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.
