I aim to acknowledge and foster these strengths during our work together, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, or adjustment to major life changes.

In my work, I pull from several evidence based therapies, including CBT, ACT, and self-compassion.
Starting therapy can be daunting. Sharing difficult thoughts and feelings that have us stuck is never easy. But therapy can also be one of our most healing experiences. At its best, therapy is a space to be together in the painful parts of life, cultivate strengths, and find humor in it all along the way. I offer a compassionate ear to anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, life changes or relationships. I provide space to process emotions, while also emphasizing the need to make changes in order to grow. Together, we will create a plan, based in scientific research, to ensure progress on what matters most to you.

Using ACT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and relational approaches through a trauma-informed lens, we slow down to understand what's driving patterns and take meaningful steps forward together.
You may feel stuck between wanting change and not knowing how to let go of patterns that once felt necessary to cope. You may feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted by self-criticism, perfectionism, or the weight of life transitions. I support college students, teens, and young adults navigating eating disorders and self-harm, anxiety, ADHD/executive functioning challenges, and the process of understanding and embracing your neurodivergence. In therapy, we work to understand what these patterns have been protecting while taking steady, values-based steps toward feeling more grounded, connected, and at peace with yourself.

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.
