Are you feeling sad and hopeless? Has your childhood and life experiences led to depression and anxiety?

In session, patients can expect talk therapy with principles of behavior change techniques weaved in to provide some tools to meet their personal goals.

My ideal client is often a little uncomfortable internally, manifested as anxiety or depression. Often, clients I work best with have a complex childhood that can filter into current relationships.

This ACT approach is supported and informed by my training in other cognitive-behavioral therapies, including exposure with response prevention (ERP), prolonged exposure (PE), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
