Evidence-Based Therapy Designed for Real, Measurable Change
From Potential to Progress: Challenges We Solve
-
Service 1: Anxiety & Panic Management
The Problem: You’re exhausted by worst-case-scenario thinking, chronic worry, physical tension, or feeling constantly on edge.
Our Approach: Using TEAM-CBT and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), we identify the specific cognitive traps firing your anxiety response. We train your nervous system to regulate before panic takes over, providing real-time tools you can use outside the therapy session.
The Outcome: Lower physical reactivity, fewer looping thoughts, and the ability to navigate stress with calm authority.
-
Service 2: Depression & Overcoming Inertia
The Problem: You feel stuck, unmotivated, disconnected, or like you’re going through the motions without true fulfillment.
Our Approach: Inertia requires an action potential to break. Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and TEAM-CBT, we move beyond passive talk therapy. We track daily mood data, identify your core values, and take incremental, structured action steps toward what matters most.
The Outcome: Restored daily momentum, clearer sense of purpose, and concrete habits that sustain long-term mental health.
-
Service 3: Relationship & Communication Therapy
The Problem: Miscommunications feel like endless cycles. You struggle to express your needs without conflict, or feel unheard by partners, family, or colleagues.
Our Approach: Communication is the "synapse" between people. We utilize Non-Violent Communication (NVC) alongside TEAM-CBT relationship skills to help you identify underlying needs, express them assertively, and listen with genuine empathy.
The Outcome: Deeper emotional connection, healthier boundaries, and the skills to transform friction into mutual understanding.
-
Service 4: Life Transitions & Cultural Adjustment
The Problem: Major pivots—whether relocating to a new environment (like adapting to life in the Eastern Sierra or transitioning from urban to rural living), making a career leap, navigating cross-cultural dynamics, or undergoing significant identity shifts—can leave you feeling untethered, isolated, or overwhelmed by uncertainty.
Our Approach: Transitions alter your baseline and require deliberate adaptive energy to navigate smoothly. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and TEAM-CBT, we help you process the disorientation or grief tied to change, break through "imposter syndrome," and clarify what truly matters to you in this new chapter. We focus on psychological flexibility—helping you honor your background and values while adapting to your present reality.
The Outcome: A grounded, authentic sense of identity across contexts, restored confidence in navigating life changes, and the clarity needed to feel genuinely at home in your current chapter.
-
Service 5: Adult ADHD Assessment & Diagnostic Testing
The Problem: You’ve struggled with executive dysfunction, chronic procrastination, distractibility, time blindness, or constant mental burnout—and you’re tired of wondering if it’s just a lack of discipline. Many adults go years misdiagnosed with general anxiety or depression when the root cause is untreated ADHD. Without clarity, it’s hard to build systems that actually work for your brain.
Our Approach: We provide thorough, evidence-based psychological evaluations designed specifically for adults. Using standardized rating scales, clinical interviews, and structured cognitive data, we eliminate the guesswork. We evaluate executive functioning, attention patterns, and differential diagnoses to give you an accurate, comprehensive picture of your neurodivergent profile.
The Outcome: Clear, objective answers and an official diagnostic evaluation report. You’ll receive tailored, actionable recommendations—whether that means coordinating with your prescribing physician for medication management, seeking workplace or academic accommodations, or building custom behavioral tools to harness your focus.
Many people have tried traditional "talk therapy" and felt they just vented for 50 minutes without making progress. At Action Potential we are different. Therapy is:
Active, Not Passive: Every session has a clear structure and agenda focused on your goals.
Measured: We use brief, validated intake and outcome tracking at every session so we know therapy is actually working for you.
Actionable Skill-Building: You leave every session with concrete tools, behavioral experiments, and strategies to practice in your daily life.

What to Expect
When we work together, you won’t just be talking about your problems, you will be equipping yourself with a psychological toolkit. By developing psychological flexibility, you can expect to:
Identify Your True Values:
Understand what actually matters to you, rather than working toward goals that don't feel right.
Overcome Resistance:
Address the unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep your motivation low.
Learn Methods:
Methods are the practical, evidence-based tools we use to bridge the gap between understanding your challenges and actively practicing the skills of lasting change.
Achieve Meaningful Progress:
Move into a life characterized by empowerment, flexibility, and genuine satisfaction.
I look for clients who are motivated to make changes, open to learning, and willing to take an active role in their own healing. If you are ready to move past potential and into action, I am ready to provide the framework.
A Partnership in Progress
An Evidence-Based Toolkit Built for Real Results
TEAM-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The Engine for Active Change
How it helps you: Breaks through stubborn anxiety, depression, and self-doubt using targeted cognitive and behavioral tools.
Why it's different: We measure symptom levels at every single session. Rather than guessing if therapy is working, we use real data to ensure you are gaining momentum and seeing measurable progress week after week.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Your Internal Compass
How it helps you: Helps you step out of endless thought battles and step into a life aligned with what you actually care about.
Why it's different: Instead of waiting for difficult feelings to completely disappear before taking action, ACT gives you the psychological flexibility to build a meaningful life right now.
Therapy shouldn’t just be 50 minutes of venting. It should be a collaborative, active process that equips you with tools you can use for the rest of your life. Instead of a "one-size-fits-all" model, we draw from four gold-standard methodologies to create a custom roadmap for your brain, your nervous system, and your life goals:
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
The Nervous System "Pause"
How it helps you: Calms chronic physical tension, panic, and stress by retraining your nervous system’s reaction to triggers.
Why it's different: You learn to cultivate the "pause" before the impulse—moving you from impulsive reactivity to calm, intentional choice under pressure.
Non-Violent Communication (NVC)
Relational Clarity & Connection
How it helps you: Transforms chronic conflict into emotional safety, giving you the tools to articulate your boundaries and needs clearly.
Why it's different: Communication is the synapse between people. NVC provides a practical framework to speak assertively without defensiveness and listen with genuine empathy.
