Do you feel like you’re stuck or just struggling to get through daily life? Do you feel like old patterns or habits from your past are interfering with your present? This can be very discouraging, and it’s common for people with a history of trauma. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the impact of trauma. This can lead to emotional disturbances, like anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. We all face challenges at one point or another in our lives, and I don't believe we're meant to go through them alone.

I get to hand out hope for a living! I work with a wide variety of people with interpersonal difficulties and relational issues. I have extensive experience with young adults in the areas of depressive disorders, identity issues and managing life's milestones. I also work with those maneuvering the milestones of retirement and other life changes. My treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and change long-standing patterns that have proven self-defeating. With sensitivity and compassion, I am a straightforward communicator who helps clients find solutions and make changes.

I work collaboratively with individuals with OCD, anxiety, phobias, tic, and BFRBs. I provide ethical and evidence-based services by immersing myself in continuing education and training led by up-to-date research in order to provide focused care for individuals with issues in these specific areas. It takes a great deal of bravery to walk into a therapist's office -and- research says working with a therapist is essential in successfully addressing these diagnoses. My role is to honor that bravery with care, acceptance, and options toward the changes you want to see.

Accepting New Clients. Different seasons of life can open doors to various experiences that we may find challenging, intimidating, painful, or unfulfilling. Past methods of coping with daily stressors, or our way of simply being in the world may no longer feel authentic or true to who we are. I work with clients to explore and identify patterns of thinking and behaviors that are unhelpful; confront discrepancies and limitations that prevent forward movement; enhance self-love and acceptance; and ultimately empower clients to create a life that is more meaningful, intentional, and fulfilling.

Despite our strengths we can feel stuck, unable to move forward with a life that aligns with our goals and values. We often continue using coping skills that were once helpful but now no longer help move us through the more challenging and unexpected issues in our lives. Together we identify these familiar yet unproductive styles of coping with compassion. I use techniques that approach difficult thoughts and feelings without fearing, fighting or running from them while being able to address them with acceptance.

Now Accepting New Clients. You may have always felt like an outsider, but you still have the innate human desire to find comfort and companionship. In times of disconnect & loneliness, it can be tempting to build poor boundaries to keep people close, perhaps you look for a sense of control by acting out or you seek refuge away from others through isolation. We will work to build the skills you need to live a life that fits within your values. Together we will recognize and understand the patterns in your life, explore ways to change those patterns, learn techniques to help you cope with life, and learn to navigate it more smoothly.

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.
