Our mission is to help you break free from anxiety and start building a meaningful life, one step at a time.

If you live outside of California, we can offer you time-limited coaching services focused on anxiety-based struggles.

Acceptance and Commitment Coaching applies the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, pronounced as one word “ACT.” ACT combines behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions.

“Behavioral interventions” can be a loaded term for some people. Most people understand it as an approach that focuses on action, goals, or steps.

Here is a big clarification: There is no question that ACT, as a behavior model, invites you to take action in your day-to-day living, but ACT doesn’t just ask you to take any action or random actions.

Before asking you to take any action, ACT asks you to check the big-picture stuff about what sort of person you want to be, invites you to get in touch with what gives you meaning, challenges you to figure out what you want to stand up for, and then encourages you to take action based on what truly matters to you. Pretty neat, right?

ACT also teaches you to make room for the yucky stuff – disturbing stories, fears, memories, anxieties, and worries – that shows up under your skin, and instead of pretending they are not there or putting all your efforts into getting rid of them, you learn to put all your energy into moving with your feet, hands, and mouth toward what matters to you.

• While other coaching approaches focus soley on your strenghts, we do believe that it’s also necessary to understand your stuck points and unhelpful playing-it-safe moved or thinking patterns that are keeping your stuck in order to take effective action, in the direction that matters to you and towards your goals.

• We offer a very unique niche understanding of how Acceptance and Commitment skills and behavioral science can be applied together to your struggles related to fear, anxiety and stress in order to improve your performance, well-being and relationship with yourself.
