Going to therapy is an act of turning toward ourselves.
Depression and Anxiety are often the result of ongoing negative self-talk.

I am passionate about helping clients find alternatives to harsh inner-criticism, and to deal with life's challenges head on, free of this extra burden.

Meet Our Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
While I have expertise in utilizing multiple evidence based treatment interventions including EMDR, CBT, ACT and Mindfulness my primary approach is attachment based experiential psychotherapy.
Clients present with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and relationship issues to name a few. Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs, successes and failures. However, when one is stuck in the "downs" and the "failures" we may feel overwhelmed, anxious & depressed. Often one turns to unhealthy coping such as alcohol and drugs, eating, compulsive behaviors - shopping and exercising, isolation or avoidance. Untangling the unique threads of your life; and understanding how they affect you can be the beginning to feeling more in charge and living according to your values and desires.

My approach is an integrative one, influenced by psychoanalytic, existential, acceptance and commitment therapy, and strengths-based perspectives.
Starting therapy—or coming back to it—can feel daunting. Maybe you’re unsure where to begin, worried about what it will be like, or wondering if it will actually help. I get it—taking that step is hard, no matter how many times you’ve done it before. Therapy should be a safe space to explore your life stories and foster discovery of meaning, healing, and growth. My goal is to make the process feel a little easier by creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported.

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.
