Being human comes with its challenges! Our brains and the thoughts they generate don't come with an instruction manual, making it tough to navigate. Often, our lack of understanding about what's going on within us creates the suffering we seek to escape.

I love the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT).
If you are struggling with frequently feeling unheard, frustrated, resentful, exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious or angry, you have likely been struggling for some time. Do you feel that your partner is either too needy or avoids everything and you get so frustrated? Are you tired of nagging pointlessly? Do these challenges cause you to lose sleep at night and a need to find relief? These scenarios are your emotions and logic not adding up, therefore causing discomfort which is so common. In working on big picture issues by changing small, manageable behaviors or thoughts you can find that inner peace you are trying to find.

Have you felt misunderstood by your therapist in the past? Have you avoided therapy because of what you thought it might be like? Therapy with me will be different because I will attend to those concerns in our very first session. I believe that the relationship you have with your therapist will be the number one determining factor for the success of your sessions. If this was not met in previous sessions, then, rightfully so, you may be avoiding talking to a therapist. I hope to be the therapist for people who don't like talking to a therapist!

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.
