You feel the weight of expectations — at work, in your family, or during pregnancy and postpartum — and it’s starting to impact your confidence, communication, and mental health. You show up for everyone else, yet still carry a quiet voice that says you’re not doing enough. When life shifts — a career change, relationship transition, aging parent, or new baby — you feel overwhelmed and unsure of who you are. You’re ready to loosen the grip of family dynamics, cultural pressure, guilt, and shame so you can live by your own values.

I specialize in working with high performance individuals. Most of my clients experienced trauma, childhood neglect, or abuse. Relational trauma later manifests as unstable relationships or unhealthy relationship dynamics. Unprocessed attachment trauma negatively impacts one's core sense of safety. I help clients gain insight into their trauma responses and replace self-sabotaging behaviors with adaptive strategies. I often work with people who have symptoms of personality disorders, addictive behaviors, and those who have difficulty expressing their emotions. In addition to therapy, I also offer trauma-informed coaching services.

Do you spend your days taking care of everyone else while wondering when your own life became an endless list of responsibilities?
Many of us reach a point in our lives feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work, relationships, aging parents, children, health concerns, and the constant unspoken pressure to keep everything going without complaint.
On the outside, we may appear as though everything is great while internally struggling with constant exhaustion or feeling like no matter how much we do it may never be enough.

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.
