I believe one of my greatest strengths is the ability to assist an individual observe and embrace their strengths and qualities in order to reach awareness regarding their own power.

Through CBT I can assist you with the development of healthy coping skills to address your challenges. CBT encourages an understanding of how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and actions. I have been trained in the use of CBT and Mindfulness from the onset of my career over twenty years ago.
Through the use of mindfulness-based techniques I assist the individual with development of capacity to use mindfulness to focus. observe, and live in the moment. Mindfulness will provoke growth in personal awareness and lead to appreciation of the here and now, allowing for addressing one thing at a time and giving it your full attention.
