I specialize in early childhood and family therapy, supporting children and caregivers through anxiety, ADHD, and emotional regulation challenges.

You're the person others depend on. Whether you're a teacher, nurse, social worker, caregiver, or simply someone who holds themselves to high standards, you're used to showing up for everyone else. To others, you seem capable and put together. But inside, you're battling self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or a persistent sense of not being good enough. You keep pushing forward because that's what you've always done. You want to help and leave the world a little better than you found it, but it's starting to feel heavy (you can literally feel it in your body). Therapy can be a space where you no longer have to carry it all alone.

I’ve seen many couples ranging from newly married to empty nesters, both struggling with the same thing — feeling like they are a million miles apart from the person they love. Resentment, anger, and frustration cloud your ability to see your partner clearly and remember why you chose each other in the first place! We then find ways to protect ourselves from the potential hurt or rejection from our partners. We shut down or lash out because we’ve run out of ways to say “I want to be close to you”. What else happens? Well, we end up pushing our partner away, creating even more distance and less safety. This is where I come in.

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.
