Life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle where we are exhausted and unsure of our next move. I believe that therapy can help identify an individual's strengths and teach new ways of coping and thinking that will be effective to get through difficult times no matter what your struggle may be. A strong therapeutic relationship allows people to explore their innermost feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgmental environment. I am a compassionate, creative, client centered and strengths based therapist who creates an environment that is comforting and welcoming even during the most difficult of times.

Sometimes insight is not enough. We might find ourselves feeling stuck or struggling with patterns of thoughts, emotions and/or behaviors that prompt suffering and interfere with the quality of our life and our ability to achieve our goals. We may know the why of things and find ourselves unable to make things better in spite of that. Using a skill based approach to successfully address obstacles to being our best selves and creating the life we want may be just the thing to propel us forward. Cultivating mindfulness, which is the ability to observe and notice without judgment, along with other skills, can help prompt change.

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.
