Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Saginaw, TX
I believe therapy should feel like a conversation—not an interrogation, a lecture, or a test you have to pass.
My job is to offer a space where you can be messy, honest, unsure, hurting, hopeful, or anything in between.
When we work together, I show up as a real person—curious, compassionate, and steady. I help you untangle what’s heavy, learn what’s underneath the patterns that keep repeating, and build tools that actually fit your life. We’ll slow down when things feel overwhelming, ground ourselves when emotions take over, and celebrate growth in ways that feel meaningful to you.

If you've spent years battling trauma, emotional eating, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you're not alone. Healing is possible, and therapy can help you move beyond surviving into truly living. Having lost over 190 pounds myself, I've seen firsthand how deeply trauma, self-worth, and our relationship with our bodies can become intertwined. Many clients come to me after trying therapy before but still feel emotionally stuck. EMDR and other experiential therapies help clients process painful experiences—not just understand them intellectually—so lasting change becomes possible.

Most of my clients are tired of carrying everything by themselves. They’re exhausted by anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship patterns that keep repeating, or feeling like they’re surviving instead of living. I work best with people who want more than a place to vent. They’re ready to understand themselves, challenge what’s keeping them stuck, and do the work to create lasting change. I’ll help you make sense of the “why,” but we’ll also focus on what to do next so progress doesn’t stay inside the therapy office.

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.
