not focus on symptom reduction or merely coping. Be prepared to engage in deep, fundamental, meaningful change. ACT is a very experiential, active therapy.

compassionate and supportive, yet also fully engaged. I don't just sit back and listen. We collaborate and get curious, creative, and honest together. My clients find this approach a welcome challenge.

I dropped out of college at 18 and was struggling to find meaning in my life. Therapy helped me and I became curious about the process of change, and more importantly, fostered willingness to take action in my life: go back to school, find love, start a business... I learned the power of taking responsibility for my own healing.

I often teach workshops and presentations to other therapists, training them in ACT. I also teach yoga and am a Reiki master, although I my counseling practice is not a spiritual or religious practice. Instead, learning about many modalities gives me lots to choose from in designing treatment.
