Accepting new clients! Therapy is an experience that should be tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Throughout my practice, I have utilized an approach based in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT). For those that require a more structured approach to counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness can be an essential way to gain control of negative thoughts and build coping skills to work through emotions. By providing a warm and calming atmosphere, my goal is to help my clients reach their true potential and know that they are not alone in this journey.
