Therapy style

All of us, at one time or another, can struggle with life’s challenges. Sometimes we need a little help, guidance, or skills to overcome these obstacles. I believe in the importance of allowing others the space to tell their story, within a safe, calm, compassionate environment. As we all are different no single approach is right for everyone, therefore my practice method is integrative, evidenced-based practices, tempered with some creativity. I favor a combination of therapeutic approaches including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy.

Approaches

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Psychodynamic
  • Solution-focused
  • Strengths-based

Education

MA - Art Psychotherapy, University of London, England

Interests

I love to garden, create art, read, walk in nature, and travel. I also love to spend time with my family.
