I love helping my clients to make new healthy connections. I am committed to the clients that I serve. I use a structured approach and have clear plan of action.

Are you a woman struggling with carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Maybe you've been labeled a "perfectionist", or can't seem to find the courage to say no to projects at work? Perhaps you're second-guessing your life choices, not sure what direction to take with your career, relationships, or future? You're exhausted & anxious, tired of constantly problem solving and taking care of everyone else... but yourself? This chronic stress leads to burnout- feeling stuck, helpless, and exhausted. If you're motivated to make a change that helps you rediscover the inner Queen that you are, you've come to the right place!

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.
