“Nothing is impossible; the word itself says “I’m possible.”- Audrey Hepburn. I believe that one’s potential is based on the foundation of trust, support, creativity, and awareness of what brings out their best. I believe that sometimes core beliefs, triggers, values that are not aligned, and trauma responses can put us in a place that feels stuck. My mission in therapy is to help others learn and apply tools to navigate the path to empowerment. These tools can help to release emotions and thought patterns that are contributing to doubt and uncertainty.

I meet clients where they are at and draw from their strengths to help them create meaningful connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Healing happens within relationship. That has been my personal experience and my primary focus in the counseling relationship. I strongly believe that we are all doing the best that we can at any given moment. However we are managing to cope, having a trusting and safe place to be is essential. My first task in any counseling relationship is to establish and build upon that safe place. As the counseling relationship builds and strengthens, we will collaboratively develop a plan for meeting your goals. I will work to gently guide you in growing and sustaining compassion and care for yourself during that process.

Once these symptoms feel more manageable, we can then use other empirical therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to empower you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and overcome future obstacles.
You've worked hard to get where you are, but now you're feeling stuck. Whether you know exactly what's in the way, or you have no idea where to start, you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with college students navigating life transitions, high-performing professionals struggling to balance the demands of work and home, and people feeling disconnected from everyone around them.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy using EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT).
Do you feel stuck in patterns shaped by trauma, anxiety, or painful past experiences? My ideal clients are adults who appear “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or on edge internally. They want relief from intrusive memories, emotional reactivity, and self-doubt, and are seeking meaningful healing, not just coping. They’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, feel grounded in the present, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.

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.
