ACT Therapy is a client-centered approach, meaning that you are seen as the expert on yourself and provide our direction for treatment.
I specialize in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation. My primary treatment modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT therapy). I have been trained in and have utilized CBT and DBT, so I draw skills and approaches from those modalities.

Utilizing Acceptance and Commitment therapy as part of a humanistic, person-centered, strengths-based approach, I offer clients a warm, safe, collaborative space to explore and process life's challenges and concerns.
How many of us wake up one day to discover we are living a life that does not quite fit who we are or what we want? We are stuck, anxious, and depressed, often without knowing why or what to do about it. Or maybe we do know why but aren't sure what our first steps should be to get ourselves moving again. What we do know, though, is that there is something more inside of us, that we have a "guiding star" that is just waiting to be discovered.

Sometimes feelings and behaviors become obstacles to accessing your strength. If you don't accept yourself as you are, you can't change--a paradox, but true. Self- acceptance can be difficult, especially with history of abuse, trauma, or opression in which shame/guilt become integral to your sense of self. Destructive behavior, in whatever form, has its own logic, but is understandable given your history. We cope in ways that serve to protect ourselves in childhood--serving a useful purpose back then. But now, they prevent you from having stable, close relationships and feeling an empowered sense of self.

I utilize approaches with strong research support and often integrate mindfulness-based practices to help you to increase self-awareness and cultivate self- acceptance.
Are you ready to break free from unhelpful thinking styles and behaviors that are holding you back from living a more fulfilling life?

You deserve a safe and compassionate space to openly process your thoughts and feelings.
