Throughout a therapeutic process, I can help you to develop coping skills based on CBT approaches to learn how to challenge negative thinking, regulate your emotions, practice mindfulness, manage stress, increase self- acceptance and compassion, and to practice assertive communication and healthy boundaries.
Having anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD related symptoms, unprocessed trauma, panic attacks, anger, burnout from work and having difficulty to cope with life transitions are common concerns that a lot of people experience without knowing how to manage it. Attending treatment is a safe space to express how you feel and think without being judged, where you can learn how to manage your mental health concerns and to recognize some of the root causes of them. Therapy may help you to learn tools to make positive changes in your behavior, mood, interpersonal relationships, belief system and to process childhood trauma connected.

I offer therapy primarily through CBT, DBT, ACT, feminist, and Existentialist lenses.
It's true that our Comfort Zones are wonderful places that keep us safe...but growth cannot occur there. My ideal client is willing to work on finding the strength within themselves to step outside of their Comfort Zones. I believe this allows one to create small changes that add up to big changes in their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. My focus with my clients will always be progress over perfection and to build self-love and self-compassion above all. I enjoy taking a direct yet compassionate approach, utilizing humor, education, and the power that already exists within us.

I aim to help clients learn helpful coping skills and develop their awareness of how their experiences imp act their thoughts, feelings, and bodies.
My approach to therapy is that every client is different and has unique experiences and needs. Sometimes current life experiences such as school, work, and family dynamics can be stressful. Sometimes it is traumatic experiences from the past that imp act people in the present. I can help people of all ages (children, teens, and adults) develop an understanding of their experiences and learn coping skills for the present. I work with people who have experienced trauma and loss including challenges regarding divorce, adoption, and abuse.

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.
