I will offer and encourage the acceptance, kindness and honesty that supports clarity and positive change.
I work with clients who want more satisfaction and meaning in life and relationships. The pain of anxiety, low mood, ADHD, addictive or compulsive behaviors, transitions, loss, trauma, or relational distress motivates them to look for change. They are curious about knowing themselves more deeply, through the heart and felt-sense experience, as well as the intellect. To grow beyond the safety of the familiar self in meaningful ways, they are willing to face some discomfort and vulnerability, and commit to useful behaviors and habits. They value this one precious life they have here, and want to make the best of it.

At this point in your life, you may feel mentally overextended—carrying too many threads at once while also feeling overstimulated or depleted by the pace of daily life. You might know what you want to change, yet feel unsure where to begin, especially when urgency and exhaustion coexist. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of the noise, and find steadier footing without pressure to push through or perform.
For many neurodivergent people, life feels like a constant pull between needing something solid to hold onto and needing space to move with change. Tether & Tide Counseling is built around holding both.

My specialties include collaborative methods for discernment, such as Courageous Communication Training, Enneagram profiling, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness tools.
Some adult clients might wonder what they want to be “when they grow up”; maybe they’re exploring how to live again after "launching a child" or losing a loved one; perhaps they are trying to create a post-rehab life; maybe they've received a new or dual diagnosis. Sometimes they struggle to know themselves beyond their familial or cultural conditioning.

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.
