About
In life, we all experience both positive and negative life events that affect our mental health and well-being. It's not just the actual experiences that we encounter, but how we come out of those experiences as the best version of ourselves that creates space for even more growth and maturity, no matter how big or small the event/experience is. Therapy is an ongoing process that takes dedication and an open mind. Our mental health directly correlates to our physical, emotional and spiritual health. It starts with the mind. How we interpret and receive things is essential in understanding who we are and who we want to be. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques/interventions, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Changing our thought process in turn changes the way we respond and resolve issues, depending on how we view the issue. Identifying and utilizing healthy coping skills is essential for personal growth. I provide individual, couples and family therapy.
