Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Milford, OH

Ever find yourself feeling like life's a bit like a puzzle but none of the pieces even fit? I'm ready to work alongside you, the client, as you navigate life’s tricky puzzle. I cultivate a unique and authentic space where you will feel accepted, completely free of judgment. Together, we’ll create positive, sustainable changes in your life that you feel excited about. I want to empower you to take charge and know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel no matter how dim it may look right now.

I approach psychotherapy with each of my unique and wonderful clients with the same perspective I approach my own life: that while our life circumstances may be stressful, out of our control, and cause us pain and suffering, we DO have control over how we “experience” this stress, pain, and suffering.

Are you waking up and thinking, “How did I get here? This is not what I envisioned!" Whatever stage of life you are in, I am here to listen and help guide you to the next chapter of your life. I work well with people who are ready for change and want it now. If you are tired of other counselors just saying, "How does that make you feel?" I may be a good fit for you. I ask the hard questions. I challenge your thoughts. If you are ready to be alive again and not just exist, I can help you with that! Together we will explore the behaviors and thoughts that keep you stuck, and find the actions that you have to take to move forward.

Hello, I would like to help you see what you have within. It can be tricky to acknowledge all we have and see beyond our current situation when we are suffering, wanting to change, dealing with stress, and all life throws at us. I will meet you where you are at with your journey/recovery/issues, assist you with where you want to go, and who you want to be.

The face of someone who looks for support-looks like mine. Sometimes it's struggling with anxiety or depression. Maybe diabetes and the toll the healthy management takes on your life. It could also look like a teen or young adult feeling stuck with so many opportunities in the world. It could look like someone who has lost their job or home and turned to Alcohol or gambling to ease the pain. Or someone who just can't shake things they may or may not label as TRAUMA in their lives. More important than any of these situations, is the question: How do we regain CONTROL over Happiness and OUR own lives?
