The therapeutic approaches I rely upon most include, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, DBT/Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, and Trauma Informed Care.
Moving through day-to-day life can sometimes seem almost confounding; like ‘wow, how did life become so difficult!’ Experiencing major life transitions may sometimes be at the forefront; although, often times there is no obvious explanation for the overwhelming feelings that can completely upset life balance and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes the tools that were effective in managing life stressors in the past just no longer seem to work. I invite you to schedule a session with me and look forward to assisting you in working through whatever is challenging or interfering with your being the best you and ‘living your very best life.

I have been trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Life can be challenging, and it can be helpful to have someone listen empathetically and objectively without judgment to help you navigate life's challenges. Every individual is different, and my approach to therapy will reflect the individual's needs. Therapy requires trust and vulnerability, which can provoke anxiety for some people, but I assure you that I provide a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to explore experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

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.
