My primary focus is empowering you take a deep dive into your unique “operating system” so you can learn to run your mind and emotions, instead of being run by the unworkable patterns and conditioned reactions that have kept you stuck.
What is ACT Therapy?
Act is Revolutionary
ACT is a 3rd wave mindfulness-based behavioral therapy that challenges the very ground rules of most western psychology.
Instead of the out-dated approach of getting people to control, manage or avoid symptoms (which never works in the long term), ACT offers a way out of suffering by helping you develop a whole new relationship with painful thoughts and feelings.
ACT uses acceptance and mindfulness techniques to increase presence, flexibility, and self-compassion. This allows you to embrace the fullness of life – while choosing to do what matters most, even in the face of difficult emotions.
ACT is a robust evidence-based practice
ACT has developed within a scientific tradition and is supported by its own robust research program into human language and cognition.
It is backed by decades of peer reviewed research and has proven effective for a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, OCD, chronic pain and weight management… just to name a few.
So, if this is you…
You REALLY want to change and be free of the painful patterns that get in the way of doing what’s important to you.
You’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to work for very long.
You’re feeling confused,, depressed, anxious or even hopeless about finding an effective solution.
HOWEVER, you are determined to find out what’s holding you back, so you can get on with the business of living a full, rich, meaningful life
I can help…
I understand. I know how hard it is to change and how easy it is to just want to give up. But there is hope. As an ACT therapist, I will help you live life more in the present, engage differently with painful patterns and commit to actions that reflect what really matters to you… even if you’ve felt stuck in anxiety, depression, anger, fear or hopelessness for years.
I am known for my ability to ask really good questions, to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment, to inspire frequent ‘aha’ moments, to give direct feedback and, of course, to never let your false-self run the show. As someone who is unfailingly devoted to honing my craft, I have a compendium of resources, tools and transformational techniques… that I freely share, to support you along the way and long after sessions end.
Why choose me?
Blending ACT therapy, mindfulness, and experiential exercises, I will help you let go of unworkable patterns and take action steps that firmly align with the person you want to be and the life you want to live.
