Therapy style

Therapy is a journey of self-introspection, and I specialize in using skills such as mindfulness, opposite action, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance to help you uncover your values and take committed action toward them. I will be your guide as you walk this path of looking inward to change or let go of those things that don't serve you. It's an uncovering of the good that is within and implementing strategies to maintain a life full of joy, contentment, and peace. I believe a secure attachment and unconditional positive regard from a therapist can have amazing results, and I hope you will take the leap and decide to work with me as we both embark on this wonderful journey of creating the life you've always wanted.

Interests

I have a wonderful family that consists of two children who remind me to live in the moment and work on being a better version of myself. I read a lot of self-improvement books and enjoy learning new life hacks. I am a lover of movement, so I try to get out running or do yoga daily to help keep my heart healthy and happy.
