ACT helps you learn how to live a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present.

Instead of trying to get rid of anxiety, sadness, or painful thoughts, ACT teaches you how to make space for them without letting them control you. The goal isn’t to “feel better” right away. It is to live better, in line with what truly matters to you.

In ACT, you learn skills to:

• Notice thoughts without getting stuck in them

• Allow emotions to come and go

• Focus on what you can control

• Take small, meaningful actions based on what is important to you

Over time, people often find that difficult thoughts have less power, and life feels more flexible and purposeful.

ACT can help with:

• Anxiety and stress

• Depression

• Chronic pain or illness

• Life transitions

• Feeling stuck or overwhelmed

My practice of spirituality is based on Buddhist philosophy and nonduality. How this translates into therapy is that I help you focus on relating differently to your thoughts, emotions, and sense of self.

A core idea of these approaches is that suffering often comes from getting caught in our thoughts, believing every story the mind tells us, or trying to push away uncomfortable feelings. Instead of trying to “fix” or eliminate emotions, I teach you how to engage in mindful awareness where you learn how to notice what’s happening inside you with openness and compassion.

Nonduality means learning to experience life without constantly separating things into “me vs. others,” “good vs. bad,” or “right vs. wrong.” In therapy, this looks like discovering that you are more than your anxiety, trauma, or inner critic. Thoughts and emotions are seen as experiences that arise and pass, not as who you are.

What this looks like in therapy:

• Mindfulness and present-moment awareness

• Observing thoughts without judgment

• Learning to sit with emotions instead of resisting them

• Developing compassion toward yourself and others

Over time, this can create a sense of inner spaciousness, calm, and clarity. Difficult experiences may still arise, but they feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

This approach can help with:

• Anxiety and overthinking

• Trauma

• Emotional reactivity

• Stress and burnout

• Identity confusion or feeling “lost”

IFS is a therapy that helps you understand and heal the different “parts” inside you.

We all have parts. For example, a part that worries, a part that criticizes, a part that tries to stay in control, and a part that feels hurt or scared. None of these parts are bad They all developed to protect you in some way.

In IFS, you learn to get to know these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than trying to fight or silence them. With my guidance, you build a calm, wise, grounded inner presence that can listen to and care for your parts.

As the protective parts begin to heal and take up less space in your life, you will find that you are increasingly able to respond to yourself and the world from your calm, kind, wise self.

IFS can help with:

• Trauma and attachment wounds

• Anxiety and depression

• Strong inner criticism

• Emotional reactivity

• Feeling conflicted or “at war” with yourself

EMDR is a less “talk-heavy” therapy that helps the brain process painful or overwhelming memories so they don’t feel as intense anymore.

When something distressing happens, the brain doesn’t always fully process it. The memory can get “stuck,” and later it may show up as anxiety, fear, flashbacks, or emotional reactions that feel out of proportion to what is actually happening in the moment.

In EMDR, you briefly focus on a difficult memory while also following a gentle back-and-forth movement (like eye movements, tapping, or sounds). This dual attention helps the brain reprocess the memory in a healthier way.

Over time, the memory becomes less emotionally charged. You can still remember what happened, but it no longer feels overwhelming or controlling. And this allows you to feel more in control of your reactions to current stressors and triggers.

EMDR can help with:

• Trauma

• Anxiety and panic

• Phobias

• Disturbing memories

• Negative beliefs about yourself

Brainspotting is a therapy that helps access and heal deep emotional experiences by paying attention to where you look and what you feel in your body.

Sometimes our bodies hold onto stress or trauma even when we can’t fully put it into words. Brainspotting uses eye position to help locate where that experience is stored in the brain and nervous system.

During a session, I help you find a specific point to focus your eyes on. While holding that spot, you gently notice thoughts, emotions, or body sensations that come up. You don’t have to explain everything or relive the event in detail. The healing happens through mindful awareness and the brain’s natural ability to process.

Many people experience Brainspotting as calm, deep, and less “talk-heavy” than other therapies.

Brainspotting can help with:

• Trauma and chronic stress

• Anxiety

• Emotional overwhelm

• Performance blocks

• Feeling “stuck” without knowing why
