Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT therapy) is a type of mindful psychotherapy that helps you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment while taking committed actions or decisions toward whats most important to you in life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that works with the complexity of the human mind. IFS is based on the premise that we all have different "parts" within us, each with its own unique thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Often through wounding, these parts have learned how to protect us and keep us safe which lead to strategies like avoidance, people pleasing, self-criticism - just to name a few! However, bring curiosity and understanding to these parts can be deeply healing and transformative.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy combines the ideas of traditional cognitive therapy with awareness of the present moment through mindfulness practices. It teaches you how you can get unstuck from negative thought loops and emotions.

Compassion-focused therapy helps you cultivate compassion and self-acceptance as you look at experiences or beliefs that are causing you shame and self-criticism. Research has shown compassion and self-acceptance are powerful antidotes and to improve mood and reduce anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-oriented approach helping you how to manage or “regulate” painful emotions and limiting self-sabotaging behaviors that can harm relationships. While I weave DBT skills into my approach, I do NOT offer comprehensive DBT therapy or coaching for those seeking that level of support.
