PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

While our thoughts influence our actions, they do not control our actions. We do not always consider this dynamic when we feel stuck and uncertain of how to move forward in life. Wondered if there is more to life, then I am here to assist you in discovering what is important to you, while cultivating greater self-awareness. Often, it is our interpretations of what we experience that is the cause of our distress and suffering. From a mindfulness-based, acceptance and commitment approach, learn how to become open to what is present in your life, while being a willing participant to do what matters. Have 20+ years of experience utilizing various therapeutic approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.
