Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches, I help you build insight while also translating that awareness into practical, everyday change.
I help people get unstuck from the weight of old wounds, addictions, or whatever’s been keeping them pinned—and guide them back to what matters most, taking real steps forward. When we notice how our minds turns away from pain, we can pause, stay with it, and choose what happens next instead of just reacting.

By drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques, including IFS, DBT, ACT, CBT, EMDR and more, I ensure that we use the most effective methods to foster growth, healing, and long-lasting change.
Currently accepting new clients. When people first see me they are full of stress, anxiety, and fear. They make decisions to please or manage others to avoid tension. They can't seem to find order in the chaos of their lives. Their fear of what others think and lack of confidence keep them feeling stuck under a crushing weight of expectation from others and themselves. Before coming to see me, their brains felt more like an enemy than a vital organ. Their ability to trust themselves and others had collapsed. Like my clients, you deserve to understand your brain so that you can be in the driver's seat of your life.

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.
