To understand the motivation between our thoughts and feelings, one must embrace the shadow beneath the light that we want to be shown. My ideal client wants to know themselves better than anyone else and is willing to work toward acceptance of themselves and others. They might have faced hardships that are rooted in issues of self esteem and self worth, or have faced external pressures that have taken a toll such as with maltreatment and abuse.

You struggle with confidence in your identity, feeling as though you have to mask your truest self. You feel like you have to camouflage who you are in order to fit in, only to leave you drained and frustrated. After time, this may end up looking like social anxiety, depression, or questioning your sense of belonging. You haven't felt the opportunity to explore your identity, or maybe a new stage of life is challenging your current sense of self. You strive to have a safe space to explore this, challenge your inner and societal expectations, and find overall self acceptance.

Girl! Let's chat. If you're here, it might be because you're struggling with constant self-comparison and feeling like you don't measure up to others. Or maybe you're feeling stuck in a job or relationship that leaves you feeling drained, irritated, and unappreciated. Either way, the vision of who you know you can be isn't aligning with who you feel you are now, and you can't quite find your way out of this cycle. Perhaps it even feels as though you can never reach that level of self-confidence that you crave, no matter what you accomplish? You deserve better, and life doesn't have to feel this way anymore.

We’re all going through challenges in life but we haven’t learned to navigate through everything. We might feel that others know exactly what to do while we struggle through it all. Our thoughts seem to have so much power over us and are stopping us from achieving the life we want. I’m here to listen to you about the interactions in your life that are bothering you, or the thoughts in your head that are not going away, or the feelings that are overwhelming and hard to understand. I’m here for us to talk through and work through things so that you can live presently and put your mind to things that make you feel alive.

I believe people have the wisdom to heal themselves, but sometimes we need guidance to discover or effectively apply it. My goal is to help you build the skills and the courage to listen to your own voice and live the life you desire. Throughout the course of treatment, patients have many opportunities to practice actively focusing on positive change and living in the present; as well as develop healthier relationships with the past and future. I combine in-session work with creative, practical take-away exercises; encouraging patients to develop and apply the means to deal with future hardships long after treatment ends.

You can’t believe your relationship has gotten this cold. Conversations turn into arguments filled with personal shots, past issues, and defensiveness. It's hard to communicate without feeling judged. You’ve tried countless strategies to get back on track, but nothing works consistently. This leaves you feeling alone, frustrated, conflicted, and desperate. Sleepless nights are filled with thoughts that your relationship might end if things don’t change now.

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.
