Having lived through chronic illness, it is a passion of mine. Chronic illness, trauma, and perfectionism often travel together creating a cycle of pressure, fear, and burnout. If you're looking for a more integrated approach, somatic work as well as exploring cognitive beliefs is a great place to start. I'm certified in EMDR and believe it can be transformational to healing. You don’t have to earn your worth through perfection or push past your limits to be okay. I help clients with and trauma and chronic illness build a life that actually supports them.

It is an act of courage to seek something greater for yourself.
We are all a story, shaped by our unique identities, experiences, strengths, and challenges. As we navigate new situations and overcome obstacles, we learn more about ourselves and develop the skills and strategies that support our growth and healing. We improve our ability to discern what aligns with our goals, needs, and values. We can also recognize those things that no longer guide us toward a sense of well-being. In therapy, we'll collaborate to discover and explore the type(s) of meaningful change you seek.

Therapy for the "I'm fine" people. I work with high functioning adults and parents. On the outside, it looks like you are managing life well but internally you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the same patterns. Many of my clients are used to being competent, reliable, or the "strong one who gets things done." Underneath that is chronic stress, overthinking, burnout, decision fatigue, or relationship strain. This doesn't have to be you! You'll go from just surviving to actually living.

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.
