What if nothing is "wrong" with you? What if your mind has simply become really good at surviving? Therapy isn't about erasing parts of yourself—it's about understanding why they developed and deciding whether they're still serving you. Many of the people I work with are the helpers, overthinkers, perfectionists, and people who hold everything together until they can't anymore. Together, we'll get curious about the patterns that shaped you, honor the purpose they once served, and build a life that's guided by intention instead of survival.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a powerful act of self-care — and you don’t have to do it alone.

Those experiences deepened my understanding that everyone’s journey is unique and that meaningful change happens when we feel seen, heard, and supported.

We all struggle with changes in our lives; whether they are expected or come as a surprise. I am passionate about working with clients when they are in their season of change, whether that is work and relationship transitions, questioning and addressing gender and sexuality, and testing the waters about how to feel differently about their story up to this point.

I am accepting new clients as of August 2026. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, panic, and burnout: hello, I see you. You're capable, accomplished, and completely exhausted. Aging parents, changing relationships, extra responsibilities at work, and a body that no longer cooperates. From the outside, it looks like you're put together. On the inside, it’s another story. You’re anxious, overwhelmed, irritable, and feel like you're just white knuckling it through the days. You find yourself wondering, is this really what being a grown up is supposed to feel like? Is there a better way?

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.
