My aim is to help people going through difficult transitions in life overcome fear and sadness to arrive in a place of acceptance and empowerment.
You are here at this page in search of some relief. You may have been trying to "just deal with it" for a long time and nothing seems to get better. Life's challenges can overwhelm us, it can make our thoughts and feelings unmanageable, it can leave us feeling helpless at times. Powerful emotions can leave us immobilized and stuck in unhealthy patterns. But it seems you're ready for change, and to have a life worth living.

Hi, I’m Deva. Welcome and thank you for taking the time to take care of yourself. All change begins with awareness; awareness of self, a problem or even awareness of that bothersome feeling that you can’t put a finger on. I believe that we are all doing the best we can at any given time but when we have that awareness and insight, we can begin to do better for ourselves and make the changes to improve our quality of life. I work with Adults who are motivated to improve their lives and empower themselves to live life to the fullest.

The excitement and hope you felt when you first found out you were going to have a baby have transformed into anxiety and doubt. You love this child more than you ever thought possible, but you question if that’s enough. You’ve been thinking more about how you were parented and understand it didn’t give you the best model to work from. Because of this, you often question if you really know how to raise a child, to be the parent your child needs. Whenever your child is fussy or hard to soothe, you wonder what you’re doing wrong. You’ve typically been pretty confident in yourself, but being a parent has shaken that. I can help.

Most of my clients are struggling with the daily issues of everyday life and relationships. They want to feel better but don't know how to break through habitual patterns of thinking and doing. Eventually frustration, unhappiness, and feelings of anxiety and depression set in. I know how hard depression is and how it strips away the simple pleasures of life, and how anxiety hijacks the ability to enjoy daily living. It doesn't have to stay this way. Maybe it's your time to make some changes for a different outcome. Like Nathaniel Branden, I believe, "Your life is important. Honor it. Fight for your highest possibilities." (1994)

In life, we all go through difficult moments where we need to reinvent ourselves. Life’s circumstances often force us to question our self-esteem, confidence, and what we think of ourselves. Understanding how we feel is not an easy task, sometimes we get confused, and we may know something needs to change but don’t know how to do it. However, everything is easier when we seek professional help that can do what the people around us cannot, which is: listen non-judgmentally, understand our issues, challenge with respect, and guide us in dealing with our problems easier.

Life can be challenging even for the most well-adjusted individuals. Sometimes, it's hard to imagine how we can cope with or survive certain situations or experiences - relationship problems, work stress, health issues, grief, life transitions, traumatic experiences can be overwhelming. In therapy, you can develop better self-awareness, manage distressing emotions, and learn coping strategies that will promote your emotional, physical, and overall wellbeing. Making the decision to participate in therapy can be a constructive, life changing experience. Why wait to begin your journey to a more satisfying and meaningful life?

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.
