I offer evidence-based therapy grounded in CBT, ACT, DBT, and CBT-I, tailored to each client’s needs and goals.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns. They may be dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, or a general sense of disconnection, even while functioning well on the outside. Often, they’re motivated to change but unsure what will actually help, and want a space to slow things down, make sense of their experience, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and real.

My approach is rooted in attachment theory and shaped by practices like Internal Family Systems (IFS), interpersonal process work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT).
Life can leave us feeling pulled in different directions—sometimes disconnected from ourselves, sometimes weighed down by old wounds, and other times simply uncertain about the next step. I work with young adults and adults who want to feel more whole, grounded, and able to navigate the challenges of relationships, transitions, and daily life with integrity and purpose.

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.
