ACT/CBS Background and Training: Attended Level II training in Portland and ACT Founders Bootcamp in Philadelphia in 2014; Boot Camp in Reno 2015 and in Marin 2016. Intensive online training in the ACT Matrix with Benji Schoendorff and RFT training with Matthieu Villatte, 2016. Extensive reading in ACT and consultation with Robyn Walser 2015 and early 2016.
ACT/CBS Experience: Utilizing ACT principles in private practice since Fall 2014.
Additional Information: My training in separate M.A. (1992) and Ph.D (2008) programs was in depth therapy. However, a pre-doc internship introduced me to Control Mastery, a cognitive theory and practice developed from Freud's late writing. Subsequently, I identified as a Control Mastery clinician. ACT has been an organic and fortunate progression from these in my work with clients. I also practice using the Matrix and EET protocols.
