You REALLY want to change & 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 anxious, depressed, confused or even hopeless about finding an effective solution.
[/us_iconbox][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][us_iconbox icon=”fas|exclamation” style=”circle” size=”15px” iconpos=”left”]
BUT 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
[/us_iconbox][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][us_separator size=”large”][vc_column_text]
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.
ACT is a 3rd wave mindfulness-based behavioral therapy, It is also the only Western psychotherapy supported by it’s own robust research program into human language and cognition. Backed by decades of peer reviewed research, ACT 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.

I CAN HELP…
Most clients come to therapy to get rid of unwanted thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories and behavior; many have spent years, even decades, struggling against these unwanted experiences. The problem is – struggling to control, avoid or manage what you don’t want, only adds to the problem rather than solving it. In fact, it seems the more you try to get rid of these things, the bigger they get. Check your own experience and see if this isn’t true for you.
But there is hope! In my experience, ACT – more than any other methodology, offers a time-tested approach that alters the function of private experiences so they no longer entrap you and prevent you from living a meaningful and enjoyable life. In session, expect to learn a wide variety of unique skills and mindfulness practices that will allow you to embrace any challenge and face any problem head on, rather than avoiding your stresses.

HOW?
First of all, we don’t have to go through your entire childhood to get to the juice; whatever is keeping you stuck will show up in the present – allowing you to target what matters now, while letting go of past influences.
My job is help you drill down to your hard wiring so you can rework the internal operating system that’s driving your life (from the inside, out) – because just adding new skills to an outdated system simply doesn’t work.
Together we’ll ferret out all the hidden patterns, beliefs and constraints that sabotage your happiness and success – so you can see past blind spots, side-step pitfalls and avoid the obstacles that have been keeping you stuck… once and for all.
We’ll also unravel your personal strategies for making decisions, meeting challenges, resolving problems and activating motivation and energy – helping you maximize what works, so you can move forward faster, more skillfully and with a renewed sense of confidence.
Throughout the process, we will experiment with small practical action steps to test out more flexible behaviors – assessing, adjusting and fine-tuning every step of the way, until you get the outcome you want.
In the process, you will learn strategies
to train your mind, rewire your brain
and change your life – at the core.
