I have been trained in ACT, CBT, EMDR and Brainspotting.
My motivation for working with clients is to support them in achieving their personal goals. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma, I want to work with you to lessen the amount of energy you are using to cope. These challenges consume so much energy that they leave us with little left to devote to living our best lives. It becomes a vicious cycle that can seem impossible to break; untreated, these conditions can take over our lives. By working together, we can reduce their impact on daily life and regain the energy needed to focus on the positive asp

Depending on your needs, I may integrate techniques from ACT, CBT, DBT, and ERP, among others.
You may be someone who has already spent time reflecting on your life and wants to understand yourself more deeply. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and insightful, but feel stuck in patterns they cannot quite untangle on their own. They may be facing relentless anxiety, intrusive thoughts and compulsions, grief, depression, major life transitions or recovery from trauma. Often they are asking deeper questions about identity, values, and direction and want a space to explore those “why” questions and make meaningful changes. Many of my clients are also neurodivergent, and you will find this a welcoming space to be you.

Something happened, maybe once or many times, and even though life has moved forward, your body hasn’t caught up. You might notice anxiety that won’t stop, emotional reactivity, relationship patterns that repeat, or coping skills like numbing, substance use, or overworking that once helped you cope but now feel exhausting. Trauma isn’t just what happened to you, it’s what your nervous system had to do to survive. Together, we'll help your mind and body process what’s been stuck so you can finally feel more grounded, present, and in control again.

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.
