My most important values include authenticity, gratitude, mindfulness, acceptance, loving-kindness, self-growth and increasing self-awareness/consciousness.
I have over 25 years experience helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I provide compassionate, strengths-based, individualized care with day time, evening and weekend appointments available. Passion for families, parents and the LGBTQ+ population has fueled my life's work to help people get through difficult times or just explore how to improve on what is already working. Becoming our best selves takes work; work that I have been doing in my own life and with others for decades.

While this quest can feel overwhelming, remember that we are the experts of our own lives, capable of finding our own answers and forging our path forward. How would it feel to not have to face the unknown alone as you seek the help you need?

Taking the first steps for counseling can seem overwhelming. Sometimes life can be bombarded with anxiety, stressors, depression, or life transitions. It could be marriage difficulties or communication or infidelity traumas that need to be addressed. Or perhaps feeling disconnected from yourself and others due to PTSD. Perhaps it is a teenager wanting to stop self-harming and learn better ways to regulate feelings. Trauma and attachment issues can show up in many ways. Working through difficulties can bring hope empowerment connectedness and a sense of freedom in personal social spiritual areas of one's life.

Are you overwhelmed and anxious just thinking about your to-do list? Do you wonder, "Why can't I be like a normal person?" Are you doom-scrolling to deal with stress and can't get started? For the first time in your life you may feel understood when I explain what the symptoms of ADHD really look life for everyday life and relationships. Many men and women made it through school without anyone recognizing the symptoms of ADHD which means they didn't get the help they needed. Together we can identify how ADHD effects you and find the skills and strategy to improve your life, relationships, and more.

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.
