A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe each person is unique, and that we all heal and grow differently. Whether you believe in clinical therapy or holistic therapy, I integrate a wide array of therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. I am also certified as a first-degree level Reiki practitioner.
