Individual Therapy

Life can be stressful, challenging, and rewarding. Modern day living, with acute and chronic demands, creates significant stress and results in a cost to your emotional and physical health over time. I work with adults and older adults to address emotional distress and health-related behaviors in service of improving overall health and wellbeing. I am here to help navigate those life stressors in a warm, professional, and supportive setting.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy proven to help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and adjustment to medical conditions and disability. CBT is an active therapy that helps you clarify your personal goals and learn effective skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT strongly encourages daily practice and homework assignments in between therapy sessions, which helps to strengthen the skills necessary for longer term cognitive and behavioral changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT is a behavioral treatment to help people live their lives in the present with openness, tune into their core values, and become less entrenched with painful thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. With ACT, people learn how to increase acceptance and mindfulness skills in service of enhancing their psychological flexibility. ACT was developed within a scientific tradition and researchers continue to investigate efficacy of ACT applied to anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, and chronic pain among other clinical conditions.

Mindfulness Training

Mindfulness is a powerful experience that you can cultivate starting today. With intention and practice, you can enhance your own peace and resilience in daily life. We often fall into habitual patterns of thinking and behaviors that do not serve us well, or even work against our values. Mindfulness can become a way of life when practiced regularly.

Relaxation Training

Stress is part of human life and, especially, in modern living with excessive demands and overscheduling. How you respond to stress is more within your control than you may think. You can become more adept at identifying sources of stress, observing your automatic reactions, increasing more effective responses, and developing stronger boundaries. Relaxation training involves education, learning new skills, and regular practice of skills.
