In order to foster growth and offer hope, we will emphasize the positive aspects of you and your relationships through acceptance and commitment.
Sometimes life gets hard and just sucks. Period. End of story! Sometimes this is a result of a negative self-image, life experiences, childhood wounds, a dysregulated nervous system, or downright stinking things. Acknowledging how our core wounds and beliefs can directly impact our behaviors and feelings is the recipe for self-awareness and a meaningful life. I am dedicated to supporting my clients as they try to build a life on an internal value system, reduce symptoms, develop self-awareness, and boost confidence. If you are struggling with your relationship, sadness, stress, or just life dissatisfaction I would love to help.

Are you a creative professional who is burnt out, anxious or depressed, feeling blocked or insecure, and not sure how to navigate a path forward? Is job or relationship stress, or the demands of our ever-changing world, affecting your motivation? When my clients first start therapy with me, they feel overwhelmed. They are talented, creative and perceptive, but they're running low on energy. Therapy helps them gain fresh perspectives and coping skills, achieve more balance and confidence, and move forward as their full, authentic selves. I have particular expertise treating OCD & phobias.

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.
