Starting (or restarting) therapy can be an intimidating process, but the most important part is finding a therapist who is the right fit for you. I prefer to spend the first couple sessions getting to know you and your goals before diving into the “work” of therapy. Therapy can be beneficial for everyone, whether it is to work through a life change, manage intense emotions, process trauma, or develop more ways to navigate the challenges of everyday life. My goal is to support you and provide guidance as you work toward your goals. I can help you to learn coping skills and interpersonal skills to apply to many areas of your life.

I have experience implementing CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing.
Unfortunately previous negative experiences with counseling can impact one's decision to seek out treatment again. Therapy isn't about walking into a room because of needing to be "fixed". Therapy is a collaborative approach that begin's with me creating a safe, comfortable, and non judgmental environment. I will always recognize the person before the behavior that we are working to change. My hope at the end of each session is to assist with enhancing your strengths to elicit long term change.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? Life’s challenges—whether navigating the ups and downs of relationships, struggling with anxiety/trauma/depression, or facing the unique pressures that life transitions bring about—can leave you feeling drained and alone. Providing a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to figure it all out on your own is what I strive for.

I work best with clients who are ready for change, and want to be a better version of themselves. From the first session, Clients can expect to have control over the sessions. This means, I encourage clients to be vocal in what they want to discuss, along with how much they would like to disclose to me. During the first session, we will outline some shared goals, and frequency of treatment.

I also have extensive training in Attachment Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Change can come in many forms in our lives. It might come suddenly like a tidal wave, or gradually like a slow dripping leak. It might come in the form of devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities. Although change can be extremely hard, it can also be extremely necessary. Experiencing anything great in life requires us to challenge ourselves to push past our comfort zones. However, we oftentimes avoid change out of fear of the unknown, or self-doubt. Other times, we don’t realize the need for change until we experience pain.

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.
