I have substantial advanced training in motivational interviewing(MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness based interventions for problematic substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression and interpersonal concerns.
“If you don’t make time to work on creating the life you want, you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a LOT of time dealing with a life you don’t want.” (Kevin Ngo) Do you find yourself making time for everything and everyone, but find it challenging to take the time to solely focus on your own compassionate care? So many of us prioritize the loving care of our family and friends while neglecting to tend to ourselves - as though we are our own most treasured other.

My practice is grounded in openness and acceptance.
Are you struggling with ADHD, Autism, neurodiversity-related issues, or anxiety? As women, we face many complex challenges. Wearing so many hats at once can feel overwhelming, especially with a different neurotype. You might feel like no one understands or has the time to listen. You're used to keeping it all inside and managing on your own, but it's not working anymore. You want to find peace and relief from what's keeping you from enjoying life. You deserve compassionate and empowering care. You don't have to manage these emotions by yourself anymore.

Ask yourself, Do I act now, make an appointment & start to reboot my life or Do I continue to read profiles & tell myself that I’ll decide later? Ultimately the choice is yours, but remember that putting yourself 1st is not selfish, it’s sensible.
“I deserve better!” You tell yourself this daily, but somehow you continue to do things that leave you feeling stuck & inadequate. Daily you become more unmotivated & hopeless. Well, it is not by chance that you stopped at my profile. I believe that everyone deserves to live a meaningful life, but that many do not experience this life because they are either immobilized by their fears, lack direction/clarity about their purpose or they get distracted & lose focus. You already have the inner resources & strengths needed to transform your life & I am committed to supporting & empowering you to start your journey towards wellness

I knew I was called to be a psychotherapist when I was 10. How else was I going to fix my life after my parents damaged it :-) After growing up in foster care, I spent decades feeling lost & helpless. At 37, I finally learned how to heal myself. I went on to attain my PhD, a Hypnotherapy degree, authored books & courses. My clinical training includes working in substance abuse facilities, a psychiatric hospital, w/ military & foster children, all of which I've loved. Now I teach how the mind and nervous system work together so you can re-regulate them & transmute old traumas & stress.

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.
