Therapist Overview

I also believe individuals have free will and are participants rather than observers in their own lives; and that people’s lives have purpose, value and meaning. I choose to submerge myself into the world of the person; I am working with. I use a combination of modalities and methods, dependent on each unique individuals need, such as: aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; guided imagery and meditation exercises and skills are also incorporated.
