If you have felt daunted by the idea of traditional therapy or found yourself wanting to explore the benefits of nature on your physical and mental health, you have found the right place. I have discovered the most meaningful wellness happens when we allow our body and mind to slow down, which can feel difficult in a fast-paced, over accessible, and under rested society.

Welcome! I know it is not easy to reach out for help but I am so glad that you did! I am sure you may have some questions about me, so let me tell you a little about myself. I have worked with clients with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, addictions, trauma and abuse. Sometimes clients just want to reclaim their life - they are not able to name their concern other than feeling that their awe, happiness and zest for life has been replaced with a low grade numbness. I welcome all clients exactly where they are and work with them to get where they want to go.

My ideal therapy client is someone who feels stuck and held back by past experiences, beliefs, or societal expectations. They may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or unfulfilling relationships and seek a change that feels authentic to them. They want to live consciously, align their actions with their true desires, and are ready to take that first step toward self-discovery. They’ve been told who they “should” be but yearn to break free from those constraints and become who they want to be. They desire quick, tangible relief and progress and are open to the idea that therapy can be a transformative, efficient, & empowering process

I may teach acceptance and mindfulness with ACT, and interpersonal communication for relationships.
We all strive to become the best versions of ourselves and to reach our highest potential. But as humans we're also vulnerable to fear, anger and self-doubt due to past traumas, and life events that can keep us stuck and unfulfilled.. I have faced some of these challenges myself. Sometimes we need help from an outside professional who is open, knowledgeable and compassionate. Often just the opportunity to be heard and understood can itself be healing. And the tools and insights learned from therapy can be life-changing. It's not easy but with motivation and a desire to grow, along with the right therapist, real progress can occur.

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.
