Integrative approach using cognitive-behavioral, acceptance and commitment, and psychodynamic therapies.
Perhaps you have been having difficulty trying to manage your symptoms. Maybe you struggle with depressed or anxious feelings and troubling thoughts. You may at times feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by what you are experiencing. You might even have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep because your mind has once again been hijacked by troubling thoughts. Try as you might, you have not been able to obtain much relief from these symptoms and feel it is time to call a professional to help.

I frequently use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) lens, which means we will spend time looking at your thoughts (what the mind's chatter is saying) and systems that you are a part of (family, school, career, hobbies, etc.
At times, life can be painful, heartbreaking, and completely devastating. As we go through life, we are constantly exposed to reality gaps—the gaps between the reality we have and the reality we want. The larger the gap, often, the more unsettling the pain. I meet people where they are and help them work to meet their personal goals and values. I’m skilled at creating an environment in which individuals feel heard, understood, and affirmed, but also challenged. I have extensive experience working with adults and adolescents experiencing chronic depression, anxiety, attachment issues, and interpersonal relationship conflict.

‘Life’s obstacles are easier to overcome when you have the right support’. You may be experiencing emotional, professional, romantic, familial or other relational obstacles that you may need additional guidance and support with.

Since I only treat a small range of problems, I can offer CBT, DBT, ACT, HRV biofeedback, and Adlerian therapy, an older psychoanalytic therapy that I find highly effective.
I've spent my entire professional life working with people who have trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or a psychotic disorder. My clients are fighting a hard fight, and I value being in it with them. I called my web site "Audeo", which is Latin for "I dare", because my typical client needs some courage just to look up a therapist (or *another* therapist) and I respect it. When it was hard for you to show up for therapy, or use your coping skills, or get up today, you have my respect. You might be doing everything right when you don't feel right at all.

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.
