I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helpful when clients are struggling with depression. Working within a framework that allows for mindfulness and acceptance is important in helping clients start to have some relief. I also find that values-based living tends to help clients feel successful in life and can help provide direction when we feel lost or out of character. I enjoy exploring values with my clients and helping them find what they find important.

As with depression, I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients change the way they are interacting with anxious thoughts. Anxiety is a normal part of the human experience. When it becomes overwhelming and starts to interfere with how we live our lives, it becomes a problem. Let's work together to help change the dance with anxiety so you are able to create the life that you want without anxiety holding you back.

I am non-judgemental and have positive regard for all of my clients. I understand how in this political climate, it can be difficult to live as your authentic self, and I want to help my clients find their truth and learn how to navigate the world around them as they create the life that they want.

I find mindfulness helpful with almost every single client. Getting quiet, focusing on the present moment, and being grounded in the here and now, creates profound physiological and cognitive changes. One we learn the skills, it can often be easy to make small changes in our day-to-day to allow time for the now.

CBT is often considered to be the gold standard of therapy and research shows that it has a high efficacy rate. I like CBT for the concept of listening to our thinking and reframing unhelpful thoughts or cognitive distortions. I often pair CBT with ACT to really incorporation mindfulness and values.

ACT is a great therapy to use when working with clients with a wide array of issues. ACT combines mindfulness and value-centered living to create a psychological flexibility that allows us to be flexible in our lives and not get stuck and off track. ACT is fairly easy to learn and takes some effort to practice new skills and ways of thinking. But the results can be fairly remarkable.
