I have been working in the field of Social Work/Mental Health since 2011. I am passionate about supporting individuals in learning about and processing through the ways life experiences and traumas have impacted them. I find that often times (not always) people develop symptoms related to anxiety, depression & other mental/behavioral health issues because of how they have learned to respond to and survive through traumas and adverse life experiences.

Our lives can be chaotic and we all need support to make sense of the chaos. Challenges in life can be opportunities for growth, and that growth is tough work to do alone.

Because everyone is different, I do not hold to one approach when working with people. I like to give space for you to guide the direction of therapy while also providing some facilitation that helps address whatever problem or situation that has brought you to seek help. My style of counseling places a value on your personal experience and looks at the situation from multiple angles to help bring understanding and growth. In addition to the therapeutic value of your experience working together, I strive to be responsive and clear in my communication and hope to give you a smooth process logistically in your counseling the journey.

My approach is person-centered and holistic, emphasizing mind-body connection and drawing from narrative therapy, CBT, and ACT.
Do you find yourself tangled in a web of emotional and physical pain? Do small reminders of past events leave you with big reactions that are hard to understand or control? Even the most “normal” life changes can leave us feeling uncertain and unsteady, overwhelmed by our emotions and frustrated by shame that we should “just get over it”. We see the patterns but don’t know how to break them. We have dreams, but don’t know how to reach them. Most of all, we want to feel safe, seen, and secure in our relationships - perhaps the most important step of healing. If this sounds like you, you are not alone, and I’d love to work with 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.
