My work draws from CBT, ACT, EFT-informed couples therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.
Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in painful cycles of conflict or growing distance. I help partners slow these cycles so both people can feel heard and understand what’s happening between them. It’s common for one partner to feel more ready than the other. My role is not to take sides, but to help both understand the pattern between them. I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, trauma and questions about direction or meaning. Together, we look beneath the surface and find a clearer way forward that feels manageable and grounded.

Therapy for couples and individuals with anxiety in MA and NH. Your relationship is on the rocks. One of you feels alone and misunderstood, the other just wants the fighting to stop. You’ve tried so much to change this relationship and nothing is working. You try to bring up things to your partner in a neutral way but it inevitably spirals into a conflict and before you know it you’re back in that same awful place of disconnection that seems to happen over and over again without resolution. You’re told you’re being too critical, too defensive, not listening enough. You feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells.

I draw from evidence-based methods like CBT and ACT, always tailoring sessions to each client’s needs and goals.

Many are navigating big changes—graduation, relationships, identity—and want support that feels real and nonjudgmental. They’re not looking to be “fixed”—they want to feel understood, build confidence, and gain tools to manage life more effectively.

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.
