Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Grants Pass, OR

Aubrey doesn’t see diagnosis as a limiting factor in life. We are whole beings, looking for support and connection, even if we feel broken at times, we can turn your broken pieces into a beautiful mosaic. We will use a short-term, or long-term approach, focusing on getting you out of therapy or reducing your time in therapy significantly! We will work on a quarterly basis contract (four-months) that we can renew if progress is being made!

When you are moving in the right direction, the Universe cooperates. Most of us have set set goals or developed expectations for how we want to live our lives, but sometimes we get stuck along the way. We tend to think that we can sort out these complications on our own or by talking to a close friend. Therapy is an opportunity to tell your story to a professional asking the right questions, providing unbiased perspectives, or shining light on a dark place. I encourage clients to focus on the issues keeping them from experiencing contentment and satisfaction in life.

Life has become very challenging for so many and I am committed to helping adults cope in a rapidly changing world. I have years of experience with a wide variety of people and problems, focusing primarily on trauma, anxiety and depression along with a variety of other challenges. I take a collaborative approach and use a variety of treatment options, specializing in EMDR and ACT.

Most therapy issues stem from issues with control (ie. phobias, controlling others, being "a control freak," feeling controlled by others, uncontrolled thinking, uncontrolled behaviors, etc.). Being out-of-control is extremely uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unavoidable. In therapy we discuss different ways to relate to the concept of control by increasing psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt to the inevitable uncertainties of life. With Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist you in identifying your "stuck" points and making the necessary pivots towards living a life you love.

There are no ideal clients, only degrees of willingness to grow, develop, and actualize. This can mean becoming the best version of yourself (even if you don't know what that is yet!), overcoming a current hurdle, or learning to navigate difficult emotional terrain. Having a vested interest in learning new ways of thinking and being will take you further down the road to a better You! Clients often feel ill prepared to make difficult choices, lack trust in themselves, or are completely overtaken by the burdens life has thrown at them. Deciding and manifesting the next chapter of your life is both a scary and wondrous adventure!

Do you daydream of being able to press pause on life to rest, catch up on sleep, not think? These days, almost every day feels next-level hard. You know your job or chronic health conditions are affecting your mental health and let’s face it, a lot of other parts of your life (your relationships, hobbies, sleep). You have been in cycles of hoping things will change, but after finding yourself stuck in the same cycles of overdoing and trying to figure things out on your own, you’re realizing you’re done and over it (cue rage quitting fantasy).
