Meet Adam

If you choose to work with me, we will work collaboratively to meet difficult experiences, thoughts, emotions with openness and compassion while taking action to move in a personally meaningful life direction. My practice draws from evidence-based treatments rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused therapy. I aim to create a space to be curious and explore, to build upon one’s strengths and wisdom, and to learn practical tools to effectively respond to life challenges. Throughout my career, I have supported people from diverse cultural backgrounds with a range of life and mental health challenges in the process of healing, growth, and meaningful change.

I aim to create a space to be curious and explore, to build upon one’s strengths and wisdom, and to learn practical tools to effectively respond to life challenges.
