Most of my clients come to me with issues of depression or anxiety. I also help people work through trauma, addiction, disordered eating, parenting issues, major life transitions, and adjustment to chronic illness or pain. I specialize in working individually with adults, but also see adolescents who demonstrate a capacity for insight (usually ages 15 and up, but sometimes younger depending on the

ir maturity level). I am on a number of insurance panels including Aetna, BlueCross/BlueShield, Cigna, LifeWise, MHN, MODA, PacificSource, and Reliant Behavioral Health. I also bill for clients if they have out-of-network coverage options on a plan for which I am not in-network.

Brave Acorn: The Story Behind the Name

When a green shoot first comes out of an acorn, it breaks apart the acorn's shell in the process. To the oak tree it will eventually become, this moment may be looked back on as break-through. But to the acorn itself, this first stage can only ever be experienced as breakdown. Moving from breakdown to breakthrough requires the courage to stick with the process long enough to connect strength with that fragile, newly emerging version of self that will (eventually) be bigger and stronger than what came before.

We here at Brave Acorn Counseling help clients with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, and concerns around body/weight/food (including eating disorders). We utilize EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Cognitive and Cognitive Processing Therapy in the treatment of trauma. We utilize a Health at Every Size and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address disordered eating body image issues. Underlying all of the work we do, is psychoeducation around the Language of Emotions: what might your emotions be trying to help you do? We here at Brave Acorn partner with your body and emotions as allies (rather than enemies) in your growth and healing.
