Do you feel stuck and enough is enough? Are you caught in a cycle, living the same internal story over and over? I work with couples, individuals, and families who feel ready to stop living on autopilot and start living with intention. The people I meet don’t come to therapy because they’re “broken." They come because they’ve hit a point where old ways of coping no longer match the life they want to live. Patterns that once protected them now keep them small, tired, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I help people understand why these patterns formed and how to outgrow them with clarity and compassion.

Using ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused approaches, I help clients manage anxiety, improve emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, strengthen self-worth, and navigate relationship challenges with greater confidence.
I work with high-functioning adults who often appear to "have it all together" but privately struggle with anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundaries, and relationship challenges. Many clients find themselves stuck in unhealthy patterns, feeling responsible for others' emotions, or struggling to advocate for their own needs. These difficulties are often connected to attachment wounds, self-worth, and life transitions. Together, we work to build insight, healthier coping skills, and lasting change.

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.
