I care deeply about being a place where people can finally exhale. For some, therapy is the first space where they feel safe enough to say what’s actually been sitting underneath everything, without filtering, minimizing, or bracing for judgment. I don’t take that lightly. My work is rooted in understanding how our earliest relationships shape the way we move through the world. I’m especially drawn to attachment patterns, intergenerational trauma, and the lasting impact of parental or caregiver wounds. These experiences often show up quietly in relationships, in self-worth, and in the ways we protect ourselves without realizing it.

I use methods like EMDR to help process difficult experiences and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build flexibility in handling thoughts and emotions.

Therapy with me is a space where you can show up exactly as you are messy, tired, hopeful, or frustrated and still feel heard. I believe every person carries unique strengths and abilities that can guide them through life’s challenges. My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship that honors you as the expert in your own 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.
