Embrace Your Life:
Find Freedom with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Do you feel like you’re in a constant tug-of-war with your own thoughts and feelings? Perhaps you spend your days wrestling with anxiety, replaying past hurts, or worrying about a future you can’t control.
You’ve tried to “think positive,” to push the painful emotions away, only to find they come back stronger, leaving you exhausted and feeling defeated.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you step out of this exhausting mental struggle by changing your relationship with your thoughts and emotions, rather than trying to eliminate them. Instead of fighting anxiety, suppressing painful memories, or chasing constant positivity, ACT teaches practical skills like mindfulness, emotional acceptance, and values-based action so you can make space for difficult feelings without being controlled by them. Through ACT, thoughts lose their power to dictate your behavior, allowing you to reconnect with what truly matters and build a life guided by purpose, meaning, and self-compassion—even in the presence of discomfort.

LOCATION
The Rising Sun Counseling is based out of Falmouth, Maine. My varied licenses, however, allow me to practice therapy across Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Florida. Telehealth sessions allow for a continuity of care. I meet with moms while they are nursing, busy professionals on lunch break, and students between classes. No more excuses! 🙂
