I have a heart for people who are hurting because I have been there. I have been in the darkest, most awful, lonely places this life has to offer, but I somehow made it out. My hope is to help you find a way out too. I won’t pretend to know about everything you have experienced, but I will absolutely provide you with a non-judgmental space to share those experiences. I want to understand you and to let you know that sometimes the broken places in each of us are the very parts that can become the most beautiful. I hope you will let me climb down into that pit with you, into all the not so great places, so we can find a way out.

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being smart, hard working, and supportive of those they love, life is hard. When they first come in they experience difficulties looking at their bodies and find themselves ashamed and overwhelmed. They worry about every food they eat and may become obsessed with exercise, calories, or what’s “healthy.” They expend countless energy trying to manage their food and bodies while also trying to hide these efforts from family, friends, and loved ones. Their struggles get in the way of the lives they want in so many ways. They aren’t the people they want to be and their confidence is diminishing.

It is my passion as a clinician to empower individuals learning to live a life that is free from the struggles caused by past and present struggles that are the results of mental, physical, sexual, and spiritual trauma. It is my goal to provide a safe, judgement-free space where one can openly express themselves and their emotions. My belief is that every individual is the ultimate expert of their needs and possess all the answers they need within themselves. Sometimes it takes a little guidance to navigate those needs and as a clinician, I will provide insight and guidance as you journey through.

I have learned that suffering can occur when we get stuck in rules, judgements, and faulty beliefs about ourselves and others. Being stuck often prevents us from connecting with ourselves from a place of compassion, and it can keep us distant from the values that we want to uphold in life. This pain is often heightened when our sense of worthiness becomes entangled in this. Learning to connect with mind and body, learning to connect with and live out values, learning to practice psychological flexibility, and learning to practice self-compassion are often skills I work on with clients.

Feeling slightly off or disconnected? Feeling blocked and unable to move forward in life? Sometimes speaking to someone outside of your immediate circle of family and friends can help alleviate these and many other symptoms. Dr. Acuna is a licensed clinical psychologist who has helped many clients overcome various seemingly insurmountable challenges to help them move towards the life they envisioned for themselves. For many people challenges may come about in the midst of transition (graduation, career shift, relocation, grief) and support is much needed. Dr Acuna can help you maneuver through these changes.

Are you a compassionate, deep-thinking individual looking for a therapist to help you process your experiences without putting you in a box? I love helping unique, multi-layered, sensitive/empathetic people who want to heal their hearts and move toward their dreams. Life can start to pile on layers of painful emotions, fears that the past will repeat itself, and endless messages from other people and from society that can leave you feeling stifled, like you aren't living out your full potential. You might sense that emotional baggage or self-limiting beliefs are holding you back. You might just want to be HAPPIER and more joyful!
