I weave ACT into a solution-focused approach, so the work stays close to the life you actually want to live.

ACT takes a different route. Instead of wrestling every anxious or painful thought to the ground, we practice noticing it, letting it be there, and choosing what to do next based on our values rather than our fear. That does not mean giving up or resigning yourself to feeling bad. It means loosening the grip that hard thoughts can have, so more of your energy goes toward what you find meaningful. The practice is not about winning an argument with your mind. It is about changing how much authority those thoughts get to hold over your choices. ## What we practice together - **Defusion:** We create a little distance from sticky thoughts, so they carry less weight in the moment. - **Acceptance:** We practice allowing difficult feelings to be present without letting them run the show. - **Values:** We get clear on what genuinely matters to you, in relationships, work, and daily life. - **Committed action:** We translate those values into small, doable steps you can take this week. You can carry a hard feeling with you and still walk toward what you love. ## When ACT tends to fit Some people come to ACT feeling stuck in loops of worry or avoidance, and want a way to relate to those patterns that does not depend on making them vanish first. People often find ACT useful while working through anxiety, stress and burnout, grief, and the low points that come with big life changes. It works well on its own and alongside CBT or DBT skills when that suits you. This is outpatient counseling, so any diagnosis or medication questions stay with your medical provider, and together we focus on how you want to move through your days. How the work goes ## A clear path toward what matters. 1. 01 ### Consultation We begin with a free 15 minute consultation to talk through what brings you in and whether we are a good fit. 2. 02 ### A plan that fits you We name the values you want to lead with and the situations where hard feelings tend to get in the way. 3. 03 ### Steady progress From there we meet at a steady pace, notice what is helping, and adjust the plan as life changes. ## Related - [ Solution Focused Therapy The practical thread through all my work. ](/solution-focused-therapy) - [ DBT Skills Tools for riding out intense emotions. ](/dbt) - [ Stress and Burnout Support when running on empty has become normal. ](/stress-and-burnout) ## Begin when you're ready.
