I am very passionate about helping people develop healthy relationships with themselves, practicing acceptance and forgiveness, and creating an internal environment that allows joy.
Does it feel like no matter how hard you try you find yourself wondering if things will ever change? You wonder if it’s just you if other people go through this. You might even be really nervous about hitting the cont act button because after all only “crazy” people go to therapy. Here’s a little secret all therapists have to go to their own therapy before they can graduate from school. We know what it's like to be on both sides of the screen or room

Do you ever feel like you're completely fine one minute and ready to completely lose your shit the next? Are you the person who is always giving and giving and for some reason when you need something you find yourself completely alone, wondering what's wrong with you. Why don't people love you, how did you get to be this person that exists and is unlovable. You're constantly trying and you're about done with giving all of you to people who don't appreciate you but you feel guilty for even thinking that. This is the entanglement we tend to find ourselves in when we come from a place where we suffered alone in our bedrooms.

From the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together, but inside, it feels like a completely different story. You might be rushing from one thing to another, trying to be everything for everyone. At work, you find yourself stuck in the never-ending quest for perfection. In relationships, you try so hard only to uncover that familiar, nagging, and sad thought: 'Am I doing enough? Am I enough?' Not to mention the political roller coaster overwhelming you in addition to the turbulent economy. To cope, you may find yourself reeling or swiping on dating apps—because it'll be different this time, right?

In person or virtual sessions. Specializing in eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I am also a Registered Dietitian (RD). It's my passion to help people gain control over and heal from disordered eating, anxiety, and depression so they can live their best life. We live in a society that dictates what size we should be, which drives us toward unhealthy habits in an effort to measure up. This can lead to disordered eating habits such as yo-yo dieting, binge eating, poor body image, and self-criticism, among others. I believe in focusing on the underlying causes of how food is being used to manage stress, emotions, and life.

We all share a fundamental need to be seen, heard, and understood. Oftentimes, our pain becomes suffering when we struggle all alone in silence. An inner voice whispers the question: "What's wrong with me?" We're convinced that we are abnormal, unworthy, or broken. We seek false refuge in work, social media, food, sex, Netflix, etc. only to feel more emptiness and isolation. Growth requires that we become aware of the habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep us stuck.

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.
