I believe therapy's goal is not just to pursue happiness or self-awareness, but to live more soulfully and imp act-fully in relationships and communities.
I work with sensitive clients facing anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. This includes issues like people-pleasing, difficulties with self-compassion, and navigating relationships clouded by the need for harmony. They may struggle with narcissistic abuse, fitting into an overstimulating world, and avoiding conflict, seeking to understand their symptoms deeply.

“What is wrong with me?” you think to yourself. You feel disconnected from others. You don’t feel as though anyone truly understands you or gets you. You keep talking to your family, friends, or partner about the same issue but there is no resolution. They keep asking, “What do you actually want?” but your mind goes blank. Or you know what you want, but you vocalizing your wants would hurt important people in your life. Or you don’t think what you want is important as you’ve navigated your entire life with putting your wants and needs last.

One of my life's goals was to live in the mountains. I'm an Iowa gal who spent many summers touring the West. So, when given the chance, I moved to Southwest Colorado. I loved mountain life. My dogs and I spent many days hiking with some four-wheeling and fishing thrown in. I worked at a Durango women's shelter and then became a clinical supervisor at Peaceful Spirit Southern Ute Treatment Center in Ignacio. I worked there for ten years and became better acquainted with some of the Native spiritual practices. Since graduating from college, I have made it my life's mission to help others improve their lives.

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.
