I utilize multiple therapy models but favor Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.
Whether you are really struggling or are looking to grow in a certain area of life, counseling can really be beneficial. Starting counseling, you will experience a warm atmosphere where you will feel free and safe to discuss anything you would like. We will work together to improve areas of your life or challenges that you may be facing.

Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or stuck in the same patterns that are keeping you from living the life you want? Is day-to-day life just not going the way you thought it would? Relational challenges, past trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression can all make the day-to-day really difficult. Do you ever say to yourself, “I should feel better, act better, or deserve better”? Sometimes, we are stuck and need some support to do the next right thing. Together, we can learn from the past to better understand who you are today and then make decisions based on “what makes you - you” to build a better future.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide psychotherapy to adults and couples facing a wide range of issues. My approach to individual therapy integrates mindfulness- and acceptance-based techniques to guide people toward a healthier relationship with emotional distress and problematic behavior. Cultivation of psychological insight and awareness is used as a springboard for growth, empowerment, and the pursuit of balance and value-driven action.

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.
