Are you someone who feels like you’ve slowly lost touch with who you are beneath all the roles you carry — parent, partner, employee, student, caretaker etc.? You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or hopeless, as if you’re stuck living a version of yourself that no longer feels authentic. Maybe you've always stepped aside and let others decide who you are or even experienced chronic trauma that makes you question if you've ever known who you are. The people I work with want to reconnect with their sense of identity, create healthier boundaries without guilt, and build a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and fulfilling.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I'm trained in evidence-based approaches like ACT and focus on helping individuals and couples create meaningful change—not just insight, but practical shifts in how you respond and relate.
Life is hard. Relationships are difficult. Marriage is challenging, and life can be demanding. In the chaos of everything going on, it's easy to forget that life is precious; your life is precious, and relationships are a gift, something greater than any individual alone. You deserve focus, intentionality, and dedication. This is the basis for the work I do. You may not know what to do, and that's okay. If you are willing to do the work, then I am willing to guide you in it.

The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

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.
