Beginning this process is a commitment to yourself--a true
act
of self love.
Does it feel like you have outgrown who you used to be? Are you feeling stuck in your thoughts, behaviors or patterns? Do you feel hopeless, lonely, or lost? Are you seeking to know yourself better and live a happier & more fulfilling life? Therapy is a powerful place to explore new ways of understanding ourselves, how we show up in the world and how we relate to ourselves and those around us -- it is a space to pause, focus inward and explore our internal world.

From young adults who are struggling with transitioning into adulthood, to those managing the stressors of a "quarter-life crisis,” working with young adults is my specialty. One of the most important skills my clients leave with, is the ability to see themselves with more loving kindness and
acceptance
. They gain the knowledge of how to transition and adapt to change, as well as the ability to communicate their needs, wants, and feelings effectively. I'm here to offer a space that is free from judgment, and a space where you can truly be accepted.

The eclectic approaches to therapy I offer, using CBT, DBT, and
ACT
, is individualized to fit your needs.
Today may be one of the “Bad Days,” maybe even the worst yet. Lately, bad days are becoming more frequent. Racing thoughts, worry, anxiety, sadness, and lack of motivation seem to be taking over everything. You’re doing your best, but doing day to day tasks becomes a battle that is becoming harder to win. You’re always tired. Your brain never stops. Loved ones are concerned and maybe complain, which makes you feel worse. You shut down and either put on a show or avoid the people, tasks, and events that are important. The negative voice in your head is getting louder and louder and it says horrible and scary things to and about you.

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.
