I work with adults and couples who look like they’re doing well on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and worn down inside. Many people come to me feeling stuck in familiar personal or relationship patterns, stuck in self-doubt or internal pressure, or are unsure how to move forward despite trying to understand what’s happening. Externally, they may be dependable and capable; internally, they often feel drained, frustrated, or disconnected from themselves, their needs, or their partner, and uncertain how to create lasting change.

You've done the work. You know why you have trauma responses. You've even reframed many negative thoughts about yourself. Why isn't it enough to know what is wrong? If you are someone who has been to therapy many times and still struggles with residual trauma and anxiety, you have come to the right place. My clients have told me that my combination of somatic therapy and trauma processing has helped them understand their bodies and finally release pent-up trauma. I work with clients who have deeply rooted trauma, struggle to unlearn internalized beliefs, and are ready to do the work that is necessary.

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.
