You will find me to be an authentic & direct therapist that will focus on your values & strengths to guide the therapy process. My philosophy is that therapy is the space to get into how & why what you’re trying to do differently isn't working, (because you probably already have enough people willing to tell you) what you should be doing with your life. I won’t promise that therapy will make the hard stuff in your life go away, but what I know it can do is help you find a way through the hard stuff with meaning & help build resilience.

Internal Family Systems is the foundation of my therapeutic work—I complement this with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic work, trauma-informed practices, and neuroscience research.
Yearning often compels my clients to begin our work together. Yearning for a different relationship with parts of themselves, others, the past. Yearning for wholeness or empowerment in the face of trauma, grief, or tremendous life transitions—maybe all of these. Perhaps clients can’t put their finger on what exactly the yearning is for, but they know they are not fully occupying their own skin. I work with individuals experiencing depression & anxiety, grief & loss, trauma, attachment wounds, and the impact of addictive family systems. When clients relate to themselves in new ways or make formerly impossible choices, I am elated.

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.
