I use a mix of Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, EMDR, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Ecotherapy, Yoga, Somatic Processing, and DBT to help them find peace with the hard stuff
Sometimes life just gets overwhelming. I enjoy supporting both minors and adults in finding self compassion and growth while experiencing the uncomfortable. In sessions together, we can learn to do this by navigating trauma responses, depression, anxiety, life transitions, suicidal thoughts, relationships, body-image challanges, disordered eating, behavioral issues, and stress. Through both doing my own work and spending time with clients, I wholeheartedly feel we can find so much healing by getting curious about our emotions and greeting whatever arises with kindness, respect, and a bit of humor

I often use Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Person Centered Therapy as I believe you know best what's right for you.
I believe we all long to flourish. When we meet, we will explore what flourishing means to you, what your goals are, and what's standing in your way. I look first at your strengths—what's working for you now— and why you think you are struggling in certain areas. We will then collaborate on how to reach your goals. As a Christian I know we have a unique relationship with God, and when asked I integrate spirituality. Because I have a lifetime of lived experiences I am compassionate, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. I draw from these experiences, and it informs my counseling. Helping others to flourish has always been part of who I am.

I have more than 6 years experience, and I utilize therapeutic modalities of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Do you feel detached from your goals or feel like you’ve lost sight of what’s important in your life? Do you feel like you’re struggling to love yourself or separate yourself from narratives of what your life should look like? Maybe it’s time to take a step towards finding your most authentic self? Looks like you’ve come to the right place. Taking this first step can be scary, but I believe taking the leap can help you grow in ways never before realized.

We incorporate traditional methods, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment, Psychodynamic, and the like, as foundational treatments.
People start therapy with a desire for change. Something innate reminds them that they could live differently. That feeling is always there; now you are here and ready to listen. Our goal is to help you discover yourself, your needs, your desires, and necessary changes. Is there grief that is hard to flow through you? Is it depression that weighs heavily on you, anxiety that overwhelms you, trauma that constantly reminds you, or something that you are afraid to release? We will work to examine and release these challenges, so you can navigate this world in a healthy, fulfilling way, and start living differently.

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.
