People find themselves searching for therapy options for a number of reasons. They may be seeking assistance to manage day-to-day stressors, coping with a major life shift, even just trying to figure out if it's possible to retire 'survival mode' and begin to thrive. Any of that sound familiar?

Many want to know if it's possible to navigate life in a way that doesn't feel like a chore or worse torturous.

You are courageous and brave. You may try to push the comment away, but it's true. I know because you're here. You have that inner voice telling you awful things that you'd never voice to another person, causing you to lose sleep, confidence, and peace. Or maybe you're here for your child or loved one who is hurting, and you are watching the hurt shape them into someone you don't recognize anymore. Although everything appears perfect, you have been weathering an unspoken storm alone. You are a survivor, and you may have experienced worse in the past, but is that really a reason you should have to continue to endure?

Night after night, you and your partner lie in bed together feeling miles apart. The quiet between you feels heavy. Days end without fixing things, making you feel more distant. It's hard to talk like you used to, with hurt and misunderstandings getting in the way. You miss how things were when joy and closeness filled your days. Now, all you have are these endless arguments and cold silences. You're both longing to find that closeness again, to understand and heal together. Despite the tough times, you still hold onto hope for a future where you can reconnect and grow stronger together.

I am passionate about working with people in the midst of life transitions, especially young adults. As we transition in life, our coping skills may become less effective and past traumas may assert a new influence in our lives. I specialize in helping individuals work through these transitions, however they may present, including coping with a range of symptoms related to things like anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

The decision to seek therapy can be intimidating and the reality is that we all encounter struggles as we walk through life. I seek to normalize and destigmatize the concept of mental health. Far from being shameful, embarking on this journey shows considerable strength of character. I am passionate about creating a safe space to process feelings and explore new ways to understand your own thoughts and emotions. I pride myself on being relatable and use humor to stay grounded and remind my clients that we are all simply human. I utilize many modalities in my practice as I believe one size does not fit all.

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.
