With 8+ years of child & adolescents and adult mental health counseling experience, I specialize in supporting teens and adults to explore the relationship of acceptance and change - by recognizing thought patterns and using helpful behavior responses.
Are you a parent, caregiver, or guardian, looking for a therapist for your teen? Maybe even a therapist for yourself? Whether death of a loved one, relationship issues, severe anxiety, the loss of a job, or life transitions; navigating these stressors can be difficult. You remember being a teenager and experiencing the same social expectations; maybe this is something you're still untangling. If you're struggling to heal, now might be the time to work with a therapist who can support your emotional wellbeing.

I utilize Acceptance and commitment therapy primarily with the incorporation of strengths based, mindfulness and spirituality to create an approach tailored to each client.
It’s easy in life to lose ourselves, to feel overwhelmed and stuck. Issues that arise from work, family, environment and even our inner self can leave people feeling angry, sad, frustrated or even numb. Sometimes people repeat patterns and behaviors that they know aren’t helpful, but then get stuck as they are unsure of how to change or even begin the process to heal.

My background includes expertise in trauma work, inner child work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), strength-based approaches, etc.
My ideal client is prepared to engage in therapy and commit to the work, even when challenges arise. I seek clients who are dedicated to their healing journey and have a long-term vision of achieving independence and self-sufficiency rather than developing a co-dependent relationship with their therapist. I take a holistic approach to healing and work best with clients who are open to examining the environmental factors, behaviors, relationships, and experiences that shape their everyday lives and current state.

I specialize in CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT).
Healing is not often linear, but it is possible. While change is difficult and scary at times, it may help you live the life you want. As a therapist, I strive to know my clients by learning about their lived experiences, values, and goals in a compassionate and supportive environment. It is also important to ensure that I am a good fit for you. My treatment approach is to adapt evidenced-based treatments (meaning it’s supported by research) to fit your preferences and goals. We also monitor your progress to make sure you are making the progress you want.

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.
