Somewhere along the way, keeping up with everything started to feel like too much — even if you can't quite explain why. Maybe it's showing up in your relationship, in a low hum of anxiety, or in the feeling that you've worked hard at life and still don't feel the way you expected.
I work with people who are self-aware, curious, and ready to do more than manage. My approach is body-based and relational — EFT, Gottman, somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR. For those ready to go deeper, I offer intensives: concentrated half-day or full-day sessions for individuals and couples.

There is a curious habit that I've noticed, especially when working with teens, that clients will mostly only work on the "issue of the week." This can have numerous benefits and can also delay the client's progress on any underlying concerns or patterns. Ideally, once a client has agreed to their treatment goals, they continue to take attainable steps towards that goal in therapy and in their daily life. When a client feels comfortable with their therapist to share their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, then deeper work can happen.

Life can be overwhelming—whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or struggling to manage intense emotions, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and trauma informed. I believe meaningful change begins when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking, “What happened to me?"

My approach includes Family Based Treatment (FBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
When we experience hardships, life transitions, or even the daily challenges life brings, we may experience changes in our health behaviors, including emotional

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.
