You may experience situations, thoughts, and emotions in your life that seem overwhelming; a tug-of-war struggle with seemingly limited options. I would be honored to help you navigate life choices amidst your present emotional pain by clarifying what really matters to you in the process. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) within a comfortable and supportive atmosphere for: Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss for pets and loved ones, Interpersonal Relationship Problems, LGBTQ-affirmative issues, Trauma & Abuse Recovery, Sex Offender-specific Therapy, and Work-related Stress. My therapy features contemporary psychological services using ACT, an evidenced-based cognitive-behavioral/mindfulness therapy. At the very heart of ACT is acceptance, the guiding sentiment of the "Serenity Prayer" in focusing on change we can control; accepting and letting go of things we cannot. My belief in ACT has transformed my life and those clients with whom I work. I value helping others live a life put on hold by personal and painful distress; I am committed to helping you define what really matters in your life and navigating choices in that direction.
