I primarily use acceptance-based cognitive behavioral therapies ( ACT) but I also integrate other types of therapy.
I work with adult clients struggling with anxiety, obsessions, and the effects of trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy with a great deal of self-doubt, avoidance, and shame, and I provide the compassion and challenge needed to create real change. We will go beyond talking about your week; we will focus on the places where you are stuck using acceptance-based approaches to change. This means we will work on helping you accept the current reality and change those things that are within your control. If you feel ready to shed old learned patterns, but feeling afraid or unsure about how to do that, I may be a good fit for you.

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.
